Flights of Fancy and Function

In upscale buildings that go all out to pamper residents, a feature that requires exertion might seem counterintuitive. Many developers, architects and designers are bringing staircases to the fore, to add drama, evoke a bygone era, and activate common areas - or activate residents themselves. The architect Robert A.M. Stern was aiming for the stateliness and intimacy of a historic New York townhouse with the two-story staircase at 20 East End Avenue, a condominium on the Upper East Side developed by Corigin Real Estate Group. His namesake firm, which designed the building as well as its interiors, wound the staircase - with its limestone treads and brass railing - from the below-lobby wine cellar up to the second floor with its billiards, poker room and navy-lacquered library. Residents can entertain in this club-like area without having to open their private apartments to their guests.

The traditional pre-World War II apartment layout known as the “Classic Six” was made popular by New York builders in the 1920s. Featuring bedrooms that are set off from the living and dining areas, such residences usually have a total of six rooms, hence the moniker. Today, renowned New York architect Robert A.M. Stern has put this layout to good use in his new 20 East End Avenue development, which also features pre-war elements such as a motor court and billiards room. With the building’s intriguing limestone façade and sleek interiors, the Upper East Side apartments at 20 East End Avenue are charming New Yorkers back to a time when classic style was appreciated for its simplicity, elegance, and distinction.

Cocktail Culture

In the last five years or so a renewed appreciation for vintage and made-to-order cocktails has somehow managed to gain a stable foothold in the distilled spirit arena. The appreciation for the artistry of the cocktail is at an all-time high. These are drinks that take time and love to produce—drinks with subtle ingredients that complement rather than dilute or hide the flavors of the liquor at their core.

Prewar-Postmodern Style

In the 1880s, the style that is now considered the quintessential New York City architectural aesthetic was born. Borrowing elements from traditional European design and reformulating them to accommodate modern apartment living, famed architects built a multitude of venerable New York icons. The Janes & Leo-designed Beaux-Arts beauty The Dorilton is still, after 115 years, one of the most stunning and vibrant structures in Manhattan. And Henry J. Hardenbergh’s paradigmatic design for the Upper West Side landmark The Dakota—which is steeped in the lore of its own storied history and famous inhabitants—is undeniably iconic.

A Brief History Of Yorkville: From the Revolutionary War to Barack Obama

Early Beginnings

It’s hard to believe now, but Yorkville was once sleepy and unremarkable – certainly a far cry from its current state as a prime neighborhood with picture-book mansions and luxury condos lining its streets. During the Revolutionary War, Yorkville was a key strategic territory where some of Washington’s Continental Army was stationed. Though a bit down-at-heels until the late 1800s, Yorkville was an incredibly industrious place during the nineteenth century, when it was home to masses of Irish and German immigrants, many of whom worked on the Croton Aqueduct (of which you can still see remnants scattered across the city). In fact, so synonymous was Yorkville with its European inhabitants, it earned the nickname “Germantown,” became a refuge for many after World War II, and is still home to German delis and restaurants as well as the annual Steuben Parade.

Architecture Reviews: Robert A.M. Stern creates an instant classic on the Upper East Side

New York is unlike any other city, especially architecturally. The distinct quality coined “New Yorkism” is exactly what Robert A.M. Stern is a master of embracing, and his new Upper East Side condominiums at 20 East End Avenue reflect this well.

Though Stern can create a classic feel in a more effortless manner than any other contemporary architect, his ability to also change with the times truly sets him, and his buildings, apart.
