Architect Crina Arghirescu Rogard adds her design expertise with a penthouse apartment update located in a historic building. The New York City is infused with a bright range of designs to elevate an already eclectic capsule.
Crina Arghirescu Rogard was tapped by a friend to reimagine her family home within the time span of six weeks -- it is done for Mexican artist Claudia Doring Bez as the two share a passion for eccentric designs. The home is located in the American Thread Building. The architect notes, "The primary challenge was to establish a dialogue between the old and the new, the strong historical architectural shell of the apartment and a decidedly contemporary new interior."
