Village Townhouse Renovation by Tsao & McKown Architects

Tsao & McKown Architects won a National Design Award today for interior design. The New York based firm has a hefty portfolio and I was impressed with this Greenwich Village townhome renovation...

Would you have ever guessed that this design was done in 1986?!? There are a few giveaway details when you know what to look for — color scheme, lighting fixture in entryway, coffee table sculpture — but overall this design has held up very well!

This Townhouse renovation seems a bit cool and uninviting to me.

All those straight hard chairs look a little uncomfortable to me...

Like the couches. I wonder if there's anything similar -- also if they have storage underneath.

Really? This is way to 90's for my taste. I do not like.

I'm relieved to see it's from '86 because it was screaming early 80s design to me - really not timeless at all. Though, the kitchen and dining room could hold up.

I love the marble in the kitchen.

I think it's held up quite well, and I love the lamp on the desk in the main shot.

It appears the chairs in the second photo are no longer on speaking terms. How sad when friends have a falling out.
