Schulte Residence

The project scope is to design an interior renovation of an existing apartment for Stephen John Schulte (1938-0000) and Margaret Cook Schulte (0000-). Stephen Schulte is a lawyer at Baer & McGoldrick (later changed to Schulte & McGoldrick).
On March 24, 1977 the design is published in a New York Times article titled, “Entrances". The entrance foyer of the project includes a black and white photomural of Times Square taken the year that Lindbergh flew the Atlantic. The original picture had hung in the office of Mr. Schulte’s father. The cigar store in the righthand corner of the mural was Stephen Schulte’s grandfather’s store.

“This house has been designed as a museum/residence. There is a dialogue between the architecture and the artworks, many of which may be viewed from various positions and spaces.

The location on a beautiful waterfront property dictated large exapnses of glass to frame the view - which in turn enhances the interior experiences. A dramatic sculptural central stair connects the three main levels and is the focal element of the design.”
