GRT Architects has designed the interiors for an apartment in the 1902 Onyx Court building, in New York’s East Village, inspired by local architecture history and featuring a series of rooms, each defined by a different mood
It’s from this rich, cultural landing point that the locally based firm GRT Architects built upon when renovating an apartment within the building. ‘Before we took on this project, we were only familiar with Onyx Court as passers-by,’ say founders Tal Schori and Rustam-Marc Mehta. ‘Engaging New York’s architectural history motivates us as designers, so we took the opportunity to educate ourselves about the building and [its] architects, and to take a close look at its interiors.
Rather than draw literally from the building’s history, GRT Architects completely reconfigured the apartment’s layout with a new collection of rooms, organised by a corridor, demarcated by decorative parquet. ‘Our clients were looking for a home composed of a series of comfortable rooms, rather than a single open space,’ the pair say. ‘We made a number of changes that we felt supported this mood, while improving adjacencies, shared natural light, sight lines and spatial efficiency.
