Old Caviar Warehouse Becomes Light-Filled Home
Interior courtyard leads to a rooftop garden and city views
THE CHALLENGE
The team at Andrew Franz Architect was reimagining the top floor and roof of an 1884 Manhattan caviar warehouse. The goal create a sustainable, healthy home.
ROLLAMATIC SOLUTION
A glass-enclosed courtyard on the mezzanine level brings the outdoors in, and a glass retractable roof fills the living space below with natural light and air flow. Steps in the courtyard lead right to the roof, which features both a lush garden and striking city views. World Interior News named this house Winner Residential Interiors at the 2015 WIN Awards.
