This historic carriage house at the end of a tranquil mews alley was heavily rebuilt in the 1990s, so sensitively that it won accolades from Landmarks. But by 2016, structural issues revealed themselves in the early phases of a renovation for new owners. “That sucked up a lot of the budget, so we did a preliminary round of interior items,” said architect Rachael Stollar, who was recently called back, along with her colleagues Erin Fearins and Ward Welch of Manhattan-based Studio SFW<\/a>, to complete an extensive wish list for the same homeowners.<\/p>\n

“They had their budget back and wanted to finesse things that, after living in the house for years, they knew they wanted to do,” Stollar said. Among the improvements, Studio SFW subbed in a graceful, sinuous staircase for an existing rectilinear one; replaced a uniquely shaped but leaky skylight in the main living area with one that is completely weathertight; made layout changes to the top floor; and rethought the house’s outdoor areas. <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> Single Page<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
