El Dorado
Central Park West Apartment
Set within the landmarked El Dorado on Central Park West, this apartment renovation transformed a compartmentalized pre-war layout into a light-filled, contemporary home. The design opened up the plan to highlight sweeping views of the Reservoir, converting a secondary bedroom into a semi-open office and extending the living space across five park-facing windows.

Balancing modern needs with historic constraints
The team introduced custom wood insertions, Italian sliding panels, and sculptural elements to define space without enclosing it. Infrastructure upgrades—including a precedent-setting central air system—were carefully integrated, all while navigating co-op and landmark approvals. The result is a refined, livable space that embraces its Art Deco roots while looking ahead.
