Normandie Court — Lounge
Amenity Renovation
Normandie Court is a massive four-tower property occupying the entire block between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, at East 95th Street. The main draw for buyers and renters alike is the 25,000+ square foot amenities space located on the top two floors. The Club offers a rooftop pool and multiple sundecks, an onsite fitness center with separate spaces for yoga, spinning, weight lifting, cardio, and more. The enormous Skytop Lounge is the star with its stunning views, double-sided fireplace, and kitchenette with coffee bar. Prior to ECA being brought in, nothing had been renovated in 20+ years. All spaces were outdated with tattered carpet and resilient flooring separating at seams, mismatched undersized furniture and a lack of design consistency made everything feel overwhelmingly dull and sterile.
The improvements are palpable as soon as you step off the elevator. We modernized all spaces with a new cooler color scheme and higher quality finishes which speak perfectly to the surrounding views. A woven durable vinyl wallcovering brings a bit of shimmer and a new solution-dyed nylon carpet with accent borders and complementary inset rugs add interest and help to break up the otherwise undefined immensity. In fitness areas, plain resilient flooring was replaced with resilient faux wood to bring in some warmth as well as better acoustical value. There are a multitude of styles of furniture and seating used throughout to create multifunctional spaces. They range from lounge chairs with acoustical properties for privacy, desks and stools, to booths and lightweight ottomans and sofas. We worked closely with the client to ensure that all furniture is coordinated so it can easily be moved around to meet the needs of the residents for daily use as well as special events like small intimate gatherings or parties of 50+, all while still looking cohesive.
