THECONCEPT
Lefferts is designed to offer an experience where the old and the new coexist in perfect harmony. By maintaining the original facade, the project not only preserves the history of the brownstone but enriches it with a modern touch that redefines its presence in the neighborhood. This is not merely an aesthetic contrast; it’s a renewal that fosters a sense of continuity, respect for the surroundings, and a welcoming invitation to the present through fresh lines and contemporary details.
Inside, the focus is on creating sensations rather than just visual impressions. Wood and marble are not just materials; they are textures that bring warmth and sophistication to everyday life. Each corner invites habitation, bathing in natural light, enjoying the spaciousness, and embracing the tranquility that only a well-designed home can offer.

THESTRUCTURE
The logic behind Lefferts is not merely diagrammatic; it’s emotional. Preserving the essence of the original structure was key, but even more important was creating a home where the living experience is transformative. From the facade that converses with its surroundings to the modern addition that injects a refreshing newness, every element is crafted to generate a sense of connection—both with the building's history and the life unfolding within.
The interior spaces follow this same logic. Rooms and common areas are designed to maximize natural light, creating serene and open environments where wood and marble play a vital role. This isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about how these materials elevate the daily living experience, providing calm and understated luxury.
THEOUTCOME
The development of Lefferts was a process of discovery and creation. As the project progressed, it became more than just an architectural renovation; it transformed into a space where people can feel at peace. The light that floods every corner, the soft contrast between materials—all of it is designed to create an atmosphere that goes beyond the visual.
Living at Lefferts is like finding a retreat in the heart of the city, a place where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The rear facade, simple yet modern, and the spacious, light-filled interiors invite calm and reflection. It’s a home where luxury isn’t imposed but flows naturally, turning every day into a rich and serene experience.
