Kenny Schachter, an artist and lecturer, embraces an unconventional lifestyle in a four-and-a-half-story townhouse on the Lower Upper East Side. Despite its dilapidated state, he was drawn to its natural light, outdoor space, and garage. Schachter preserved the building's historic integrity while infusing quirky designs and furnishings, including pieces from renowned friends like Zaha Hadid. His home is a continuous reflection of his eclectic tastes and acknowledgment of aging, contrasting sharply with the surrounding neighborhood culture.
I am the only one who dresses age inappropriately in my neighborhood.
It has a modern façade, then antique French parquet floors on two levels, and the kitchen could be in the Museum of Natural History.
