Textile designer Christina Azario spear-headed a massive renovation that added two more floors to the existing three and nearly doubled the square footage of a dilapidated traditional brownstone to create a whole new lofty residence for her family in New York...and the biggest surprise..it took all of 10 months!! To maintain the uniformity of the exterior with the other brownstones in the row, the facade was left untouched but beyond that everything else was completely overhauled. The back of the house was extended and the wall replaced with glass, adding both space and light. With a harmonious mix of rough and refined, traditional and contemporary, it is a beautiful light-filled home with a very clever maximization of the ultimate luxury in New York ...SPACE!

The library has custom-made modern shelving which contrasts beautifully with the rustic Asian cocktail table and the wooden Brazilian chairs. A Turkish rug adds warmth to the space...
