Steel Framing, Historic Bones: Custom Doors for this Aurora Farewell Reimagined Upper West Side Brownstone

Architectural Digest featured this reimagined Upper West Side brownstone, where Aurora Farewell’s architectural design marries historic character with calm, modern lines, including a dramatic rethinking of the first floor by relocating the kitchen to the back to open directly onto the terrace and garden, softening the boundary between indoors and out. All the Details supplied the steel hinged doors, sidelights, transoms, and interior doors that shape the home’s circulation and frame its signature light‑filled views.

Slim‑profile steel and glass elements keep rooms defined yet visually connected, allowing light to flow while respecting the original brownstone shell. The result is a quietly luxurious New York home where every steel detail supports the overall vision of contemporary living in a historic envelope, drawing you through a sequence of rooms toward the kitchen as the natural gathering point.
