SEE THIS HOUSE: OVERARCHING DESIGN IN A NYC BROWNSTONE!

This is one of those posts where I’ll let the pictures do the talking. No story from me this time. No attempt at humor…just think I’ll be quiet (I can hear a collective sigh of relief from friends and I’m sure quite a few readers). Me…silent…yes…this time at least…perhaps awe inspired by this incredible design.

A New York City brownstone designed by elite architect Peter Pennoyer…a stunning and elegant home with curves in all the right places.

Replete with an array of archways – brilliant barrel vaulted ceilings, sensational arched doorways, rooms with rounded corners, an incredible vista of arcs that makes up a main hallway and a trio of striking floor to ceiling arch framed windows – this home is absolutely dazzling.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve had the photo of the living room in my inspiration folder, but I don’t think I had ever seen the rest of this house – thanks!

    What a beautiful space, the herringbone floors and the graphic staircase are scrumptious.

    Thank you for all of your great comments. I love this house too.

    It is not for sale that I know of…and I’m sorry I do not know the exact color of the living room walls (you could print up a picture and take to your local paint shop to match).

    I have lots more from Peter Pennoyer Architects coming up. So stay tuned!!!

    The image with the archways and staircase just took my breath away. The lovely glow in the image is as if the gods are shining down. If only we could all live such lives..

Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
