最初建于1828年的哈里森街37号是一座具有里程碑意义的联邦风格 townhouse，经历了多种人生。从家庭住宅到食品市场总部，如今它作为一个精致的单户住宅屹立，成为历史魅力与现代设计的罕见结合。建筑师苏珊·尹和室内设计师佩内洛普·奥古斯特精心修复并重构了这座房屋，体现了历史的延续感：历史被尊重，同时以现代工艺重新演绎。

房屋的外观经过细致保护，修复了窗户、老虎窗和原始木材细节。整个内部结构围绕一个内部钢框架重建，给这处房产带来了隐秘的分量和持久性。每层高达11英尺的高天花板创造了惊人的室内空间。从花园层开始，一个用回收的心松木建造的新中央楼梯成为房屋的脊柱，透过每一层引入光线和空气。宽板地板贯穿整个房屋，经过浅色调处理，显现出自然的纹理，同时给予柔和的现代质感。

厨房面积加倍，并位于后方以便于进入花园，中心是一个万寿菊色的Lacanche灶具和嵌入回收玻璃片的 terrazzo 台面。定制的玻璃吊灯以玫瑰色调铸造，向1920年代和1930年代致敬。橱柜涂上法罗和博尔（Farrow & Ball）的卡卢娜色，与铜制Waterworks水龙头和欧泊玻璃硬件搭配，这些细节在耐用性与低调优雅之间取得了平衡。整栋 townhouse 配备可用的壁炉提供温暖，而回收的门和复古浴室配件则增添了质感和真实性。

顶层专为主卧套房而设。在这里，裸露的原始木梁经刷涂和处理，展现出数百年的自然斑驳。浴室采用摩洛哥 tadelakt 石膏装饰，配以黄铜配件和自定义的陶瓷瓷砖工艺，呼应历史欧洲的大理石纹理技术。其他特点包括11英尺的天花板和一个可用的壁炉，以及一个巨大的步入式衣橱和5个附加衣橱。

二楼有两个大型卧室。每个卧室宽度覆盖整座房屋，并配有自己的壁炉。它们共享一间配备了Waterworks和Lefroy Brooks配件的浴室。

在花园层，石砌基础依旧可见，彰显了住宅的历史，而现代干预措施如折叠画廊墙则使下层能够灵活地适应生活、工作和展览空间。针对被认定为历史地标的外立面设计了新的钢制门廊，创造了与后花园的无缝过渡。

这是一座通过材料讲述其故事的 townhouse：松木和 terrazzo、石膏和瓷砖、钢铁和石材的层次。历史悠久而焕然一新，它是建筑的重写本，给予了人们居住在纽约历史一部分的难得机会，经过深思熟虑的适应以迎合当今的需求。

Originally built in 1828, 37 Harrison Street, a landmarked Federal-style townhouse, has lived many lives. From family residence to food market headquarters, today it stands as a refined single-family home, a rare union of historic character and modern design. Carefully restored and reconfigured by architect Susan Yun and interior designer Penelope August, the home embodies a sense of continuity: history honored, yet reinterpreted with contemporary craftsmanship.

The façade has been meticulously preserved with restored windows, dormers, and original wood detailing. The entire interior structure was rebuilt around an internal steel frame, creating a hidden heft and longevity to the property. High ceilings on each floor, up to 11 feet tall, create a surprising interior volume. Beginning in the garden level, a new central staircase in reclaimed heart pine becomes the spine of the home, drawing light and air through each level. Wide-plank floors carry throughout, treated with a pale tint that reveals the natural grain while lending a soft, modern finish.

The kitchen, doubled in scale and sited at the rear for garden access, is anchored by a marigold Lacanche range and terrazzo countertops embedded with recycled glass chips. Custom glass pendant lights, cast in Rosaline hues, nod to the 1920s and 1930s. Cabinetry is painted in Farrow & Ball’s Calluna, paired with a copper Waterworks faucet and opal-glass hardware—details that balance durability with quiet elegance. Throughout the townhouse, working fireplaces provide warmth, while reclaimed doors and vintage bath fittings lend texture and authenticity.

The top floor is dedicated to the principal suite. Here, exposed original timber beams have been brushed and treated with tung oil to reveal their centuries-old patina. The bath is finished in Moroccan tadelakt plaster, with brass fixtures and custom ceramic tilework that echoes historic European marbling techniques. Other features include 11-foot ceilings and a working fireplace, plus a huge walk-in closet and 5 supplemental closets.

Two additional large bedrooms occupy the second floor. Each spans the width of the house and has its own working fireplace. They share a bathroom outfitted with Waterworks and Lefroy Brooks fixtures.

On the garden level, stone foundations remain visible as a testament to the home’s age, while modern interventions such as a folding gallery wall allow the lower level to flex between living, working, and exhibition space. A new steel porch was designed in deference to the landmarked exterior, creating a seamless transition to the rear garden.

This is a townhouse that tells its story through materials: layers of pine and terrazzo, plaster and tile, steel and stone. Historic yet renewed, it is an architectural palimpsest, a rare opportunity to inhabit a piece of New York’s past, thoughtfully adapted for the present.
