Originally four different residential hotel suites when the Ansonia opened in 1904, the renovation program for this now combined single apartment started with the addition of a new air-conditioning system throughout. Given that almost all areas would be affected by the new ductwork, the owners took this opportunity to correct a number of architectural layout issues. Interventions included adding a proper entry hall and coat closet, architectural organization and articulation of lengthy hallways, new Master Closets, and a reimagined Family Room. Assisting with the interior decoration as well, a combination of furnishings, wallcoverings, and artwork selected by the owners was complemented with vintage 1960s lighting, digitally printed wallpaper from Iksel Decorative Arts, and bold custom paint finishes and colors.
