Greenwich Village Townhouse By Axis Mundi
This Greek Revival town house located in Greenwich Village was built in the 1840s and rehabilitated by Axis Mundi.
They peeled everything to the very brick and started all over from plumbing and electrical system. The Warhol, Haring and Basquiat collections (the owners of the Greek revival town house are collectors of art) got a modernist home with marble mosaic bathrooms, custom bronze staircase, a bronze and mirrored screen and a chandelier (both very beautiful and made by Urban Archeology). The result is truly structured and funny and even if I prefer large spaces and minimalist interior decoration, the Axis Mundi renovation was completely successful.
!!! This is the kind of New York townhouse I dream of owning and living in (after the Sheffields’ townhouse in A Nanny Named Fran).Cosy and functional.Except for the Reindeer horned armchair.Who’d ever want to sit in that piece of body poking atrosity.

I can’t stop staring at the bath-room and the garden and…..well almost everything about this house! I adore the red bricks too…It can be a nice townhouse in my own city as well. Some things I would thrown out the door immediately though and replace it with my own stuff….I dream on….
