1. Brownstone Renewed by Jayne Design Studio - This New York City townhouse, which once served as a multi-unit apartment building, was restored to a single family residence for a young family. Designer Thomas Jayne was tasked with creating cohesive interior spaces that meshed with the home’s original architectural elements while maintaining a contemporary edge.

The Dahesh Museum of Art today announced that it has selected a townhouse at 178 East 64^th Street as its new headquarters and exhibition space.  This coincides with the 20^th Anniversary of the Dahesh, America's only institution dedicated to collecting and exhibiting European and American academic art of the 19^th and 20^th centuries.  The five-story townhouse has been selected for its convenient location and spacious gallery-like parlor.  The Dahesh is currently consulting with architects, with an opening date to be announced later this year.

The new home for the Dahesh Museum was built in 1899 and has a limestone and brownstone facade.  The building is 20-feet wide, comprising of approximately 7,000 square feet of space. Original details include two fireplaces with imported French Louis XV marble mantles and a marble foyer. The new location also includes a beautiful finished outdoor space of Italian stone.
