Working within a restricted budget, our re-planning of this TriBeCa apartment included the creation of a large living area at the south facing corner, the addition of a new stair to connect to a private rooftop, and a new kitchen and bathrooms. The double height volume off the entry, new stair and open kitchen design are all intended to support the definition of the public and private areas of the apartment and to make the space appear to be much larger than it actually is.
