Revised alterations at 280 West 11th gain approval after lowering parlor floor and adjusting skylight
Summary
The commission approved revisions to a multi-stage alteration at 280 West 11th Street in Greenwich Village, including reduced parlor-level window height, smaller studio skylights, and a full-width rear addition as presented by the applicant team.
Commissioners approved revised work at 280 West 11th Street after applicants reduced parlor-level height and revised studio skylights. Cass Stackelberg and Jordan Rogov summarized changes to fenestration and roofline that reduce perceived height while maintaining an enlarged studio window and a rear-yard addition not visible from public streets.
Jordan Rogov said the team reduced the parlor-level height and reconfigured the window divisions (6-over-9), and scaled back the studio skylights to provide a stronger slate surround and vertical expression. The rear addition was presented as consistent with adjacent additions and not intrusive when viewed from the communal garden; commissioners who had previously expressed concern said the revisions addressed earlier comments and moved the project to approval.
