90 Bank Street (West Village, Manhattan) Built: 1873
At 90 Bank, Grafēdē is tasked with preserving a property featuring two large primary facades and a roof in need of replacement. Sensitivity to landmark preservation details is paramount, encompassing aspects ranging from masonry to window replacement.
We eagerly anticipate commencing work on-site as weather conditions permit. Stay tuned for updates and new photos in the coming months as we embark on this landmark preservation journey.
343 / 345 Bleecker Street (West Village, Manhattan) Built: 1831
At Grafēdē, we pride ourselves on our ability to blend modern functionality with historical preservation. Our project at 343 and 345 Bleecker St. in Manhattan's West Village Historical District is a testament to this commitment.
For 343 Bleecker St., the renovation focused primarily on the interior, where we addressed the ingress to facilitate the delivery of larger furniture pieces. Our primary objective was to convert the two existing dwelling units in this mixed-use building into a single-family duplex situated above a commercial unit. This transformation involved updating the interior layouts and circulation patterns while meticulously preserving the historical façade.
Similarly, at 345 Bleecker St., our efforts were concentrated on the interior renovation. We collaborated closely with the existing tenants to develop a proposal that minimally disrupted their active use of adjacent spaces. Our approach ensured a seamless integration of modern amenities and historical integrity, maintaining the charm and character of this 1831-built structure.
By respecting the building's heritage and accommodating contemporary needs, we created a harmonious living space that honors the past while embracing the future.
160 Waverly Place (West Village, Manhattan) Built: 1906
At Grafēdē, we specialize in revitalizing historic buildings while preserving their unique architectural heritage. Our project at 160 Waverly Place in Manhattan's West Village Historical District exemplifies this dedication.
This six-story residential building, constructed in 1906, faces the iconic 165 Waverly Place Northern Dispensary building. It helps to create a plaza-like space around the smaller Dispensary building, enhancing the urban landscape. The building's ornate brickwork with simulated quoins at the corners seamlessly blends with extensive stone details, celebrating its Classic Greek Revival presence and Italianate overtones.
Historically significant, 160 Waverly Place was home to sculptor Arthur Lee in the 1930s, adding to its rich cultural legacy. Our renovation project focused on maintaining the building's classic architectural features while modernizing its interior to meet contemporary residential needs.
By honoring the past and enhancing functionality, we ensure that 160 Waverly Place remains a cherished part of Manhattan's architectural heritage.
