This beautiful townhouse was designed by I.M. Pei-trained architects Ogawa Depardon, whose work has been widely published in magazines such as Interior Design Magazine, New York Times Home Section and Metropolitan Home. In the townhouse's gut renovation, everything was rebuilt and redesigned and only the front landmark facade remains. THE RESIDENCE Perfect for comfortable living and elegant entertaining-this home boats the best of town house living with a loft- like feeling. The home's interiors are light and airy.

A back wall of double height custom wood windows and doors wash light and warmth across the floor. The open chef's kitchen can be enclosed with sliding translucent fiberglass panels.
