In-Site Interior Design to complete The Argyle Park Slope project

January 04, 2008 - Owners Developers & Managers
In-Site Interior Design, an award-winning firm that has been making its mark on the New York metro area real estate scene through a variety of commercial and residential projects since its inception in 2004, has unveiled its designs for The Argyle Park Slope, the newest luxury condominium in the vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood. In-Site's professional team, headed by Elizabeth Sanchez Vaughan, president, was selected as the interior designer for the entire project including the public spaces -- lobby and roof terrace -- and the prototypical residence. The 59-unit, 12-story building, currently under construction, is slated to open for occupancy in the summer of 2008.
In-Site embraced the challenge from the start: to integrate elements of tradition into a modern, chic aesthetic for a high-end urban oasis utilizing materials that keep construction costs in line without compromising on quality or style.
Sanchez Vaughan said, "We are excited to be a part of this development. Our goal is to create a living center that both nestles in and stands out in the heart of one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods, renowned for its landmark buildings and classic brownstones."
Vaughan and her team began from the ground up: Taking the lobby as the entry point that sets the tone for the space, they selected warm, richly grained, cherry wood columns to accent two-tone porcelain tile floors that are durable yet sumptuous. As the lobby is large but deep, In-Site strategically placed bold touches of geometric play throughout with a series of frosted mirror and back-lit glass panels. Vaughan said, "The panels create a spatial flow and provide drama." A three-dimensional, sculpted natural stone wall behind the concierge desk helps to root the space and extends a welcoming environment.
The units expand on the theme of comfort and opulence achieved on the ground level. In-Site uses wood abundantly in living areas and bedrooms, here in blonder shades, with wide plank maple floors chosen to convey a bright, airy feeling. Attention to detail characterizes Sanchez Vaughan's choices for the kitchens from top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances to quartzite countertops and bamboo cabinetry. Master bathrooms feature porcelain tile flooring and cherry wood vanities with luxe marble tops.
The final event occurs at the summit: an expansive roof terrace highlighted by panoramic city views. Here an intricately designed trellis serves as a striking focal point surrounded by teak furniture and ample greenery.
Fredric Oliver of Wheaton Associates, the project's developer, said, "We are extremely pleased to have designs that create the overall theme for The Argyle. Located on Fourth Avenue, it is part of a new wave of activity bustling in Park Slope. The Argyle will draw singles, couples and families seeking an alternative to Manhattan living." Condominium sales have begun;Corcoran Group Marketing is the exclusive sales and marketing agent. Meltzer/Mandl Architects, PC is the building architect.
