Lofti ya Penthouse Iliyofafanuliwa na Uboreshaji wa Utulivu huko NoHo

ASILI YA KIMAUMBILE

21 Bond Street iko ndani ya Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya NoHo ikiwa mfano wa kipekee wa usanifu wa kibiashara wa mwishoni mwa karne ya 19 wa mtindo wa Renaissance Revival.

Ikiagizwa na mwendeshaji wa mali isiyohamishika Leon Tannenbaum na kubuniwa na Buchman & Deisler mwaka 1893, jengo hili la ghorofa sita lenye lofti na maduka lilibuniwa kama tafsiri ya kisasa ya mtindo wa Renaissance Revival. Mbele yake ya duka iliyotengenezwa kwa chuma cha kutupwa, iliyozungukwa na nguzo za brownstone, madirisha ya ghorofa ya pili yaliyochochewa na mtindo wa Palladian, pamoja na roseti tata zilizowekwa ndani ya pedimenti ya pembe tatu, yanaonyesha azma ya mapambo ya enzi hiyo. Milango na madirisha yaliyopangwa kwa makundi kwenye ghorofa za juu—yakisisitizwa na maua ya terra-cotta yenye umbo la fleur-de-lis na tao la kuvutia la mtindo wa fanlight—yanakamilisha mpangilio wa kifahari wa jengo unaoelekea juu, chini ya cornice ya kawaida ya chuma.

MSUKUMO WA UBUNIFU

Hapo awali likibuniwa kama jengo la duka na lofti la mtindo wa Renaissance Revival, makazi haya yalibuniwa upya na mbunifu mashuhuri wa New York ambaye jalada la kimataifa la kampuni yake linaenea Aspen, Palm Beach, Ufaransa, Italia, Lebanon na Saudi Arabia.

Akitaka kufichua tabia ya awali ya jengo la mwaka 1893, mbunifu huyo aliondoa Sheetrock, na kufichua matofali na fremu za mbao za zaidi ya karne moja. Skylight kubwa mpya iliwekwa katikati ya sebule, ikiruhusu mwanga wa jua kupenya kupitia dari zenye urefu wa futi 14.

Sakafu ilibadilishwa na mbao za mwaloni mweupe za Dinesen, zilizotengenezwa kutokana na miti yenye umri wa kati ya miaka 80 na 200 na kuchaguliwa moja moja kwa kuzingatia michirizi na uwiano wake. Kila ubao wa HeartOak umeunganishwa kwa viungio vya jadi vya mwaloni vyenye umbo la kipepeo, hivyo kuhifadhi tabia ya asili na uimara wa mbao.

Katika sehemu mbalimbali, vitu vya kale vya Ulaya vinaongeza hisia ya fahari iliyozoeleka—sehemu ya juu ya meko ya mtindo wa Provençal, iliyogunduliwa katika soko la vitu vya kale la Paris, ndiyo kitovu cha meko ya sebule.

A Penthouse Loft Defined by Quiet Refinement in NoHo
ARCHITECTURAL PROVENANCE
21 Bond Street stands within the NoHo Historic District as a remarkable example of late 19th-century commercial Renaissance Revival architecture.

Commissioned by real estate operator Leon Tannenbaum and designed by Buchman & Deisler in 1893, the six-story loft and store building was conceived as a modern interpretation of the Renaissance Revival style. Its cast-iron storefront, framed by brownstone piers, Palladian-inspired second-story windows, and intricate rosettes set within a triangular pediment, reflects the decorative ambition of the era. Grouped openings on the upper floors—highlighted by terra-cotta fleurs-de-lis and a dramatic fanlight-style arch—complete the building’s elegant vertical rhythm beneath a classic iron cornice.

DESIGN INSPIRATION
Originally conceived as a Renaissance Revival storefront-and-loft building, the residence was reimagined by a noted New York architect whose firm’s international portfolio spans Aspen, Palm Beach, France, Italy, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia.
Seeking to reveal the original character of the 1893 structure, the architect stripped away Sheetrock, exposing the century-old brick and timber framing. A massive new skylight was installed at the center of the living room, drawing sunlight through 14-foot ceilings.
The flooring was replaced with Dinesen white oak planks, crafted from trees aged between 80 and 200 years and individually selected for their grain and proportion. Each HeartOak plank is joined with traditional oak butterfly joints, preserving the natural character and integrity of the wood.
Throughout, antique European elements introduce a sense of lived-in grandeur—a Provençal-style mantel discovered at the Paris flea market anchors the living room fireplace.
