A fancy address but no particular character marked this East Side coop. A series of 'corrections', resurfacings, and modernizations restored the apartment to a grandeur worthy of Park Avenue. Room proportions, symmetries, and alignments were carefully corrected. Walls and floors were resurfaced in oak and marble and doors replaced with solid oak. The fireplace mantle was redone to the new theme. And, the baths and kitchens were brought into the eighties.

The apartment revolves around the foyer, where a mythic relationship with the street and the heavens is reached. Park Avenue is carved out of stone niches complete with buildings east and west, subterranean passages below, and etched glass night sky above. The owner's astrological signs watch over all.
