She was incredibly collaborative and responsive to our needs, for example compromising on some initial aesthetic choices to add more storage in every room, one of our number one asks. She helped keep the project on track by holding the contractor accountable to schedules, and she also had great strategies for staying within a budget, helping us figure out where it was worth splurging and where we could economize. We've been extremely happy with the results - our house fits our family's needs perfectly and we appreciate its comfort and beauty every day.” — K.Z. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/954c432f-856e-43ad-b42b-db2ecd9de8a5/IMG_8696_MERET+%26+GC+BW_750.jpg Testimonials - “I cannot imagine having a better renovation experience than the one I had with Meret, who was both highly creative in design and solving problems, and in control of every detail at all times. Though she maintained a positive, upbeat attitude always, even during the pandemic, she did not hesitate to call out the occasional bad or irresponsible behavior on the part of contractors or suppliers. I felt like Meret cared deeply about my project, and as far as I’m concerned the result proves it, so it must be true. If you’re lucky enough to snag her, you should.” — E.S. https://www.lenzlingerarch.com/apartments daily 1.0 2026-02-13 https://www.lenzlingerarch.com/apartments/grand-army-plaza-penthouse monthly 0.5 2021-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/5f2a5ac2-df6e-4bb9-b8f1-a5d06c9c4460/17072-01_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse The Living and Dining areas were organized around three new, large French doors and matching window, connecting it to the most public part of the terrace and bringing enough light in to avoid glare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/7aab26ef-35ae-4d9b-b1c8-418aeb4de876/17072-02_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse Upon exiting the elevator and stepping into the foyer, the visitor immediately catches a first glimpse of the terrace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/f96f2e33-6e6e-478c-9f7d-926960f055d6/17072-03_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse The dining area has a Louise Bourgeois marble sculpture and a large chandelier by Ocher to add focal point and ending to the long room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/00f8b25e-1c3d-477c-bb1b-6faa08d85e2a/17072-08_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse Looking back from the terrace into the dining area, and through the “grove” toward the more private deck area near the master suite.

The foyer is completely paneled, a feature which extends to one side of each hallway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/541c93a8-524b-4601-8016-ac16b3a2bd7b/17072-04_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse home about news contact The office/guest room hallway had the near impossible task of squeezing by the large, irregularly shaped public core, while making sense of the rooms in the narrow space leftover between building setback and core. We decided, rather than to fight it, to play with the odd shape. We emphasized it with a continuous blue “starry night” ceiling and poché to regularize its shape while allowing for displays of art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/1418f742-e6b5-46d9-ad76-4315f25721a0/17072-16_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse The hallway niches contain, among other things, smaller sculptures by Louise Bourgeois https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/9fef553a-6be6-4790-a431-2dd01121ab97/17072-07_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse At the end of the hallway is the only, purposefully, dark room.

Thanks to the funky hallway and the thickened wall, we managed to make it a calm, symmetrical space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/5a9b7875-1130-4fc0-b3e3-c950daace225/17072-14_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse A guest bath https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/99d44741-c769-44df-a754-dce4c65d6892/17072-17_1500.jpg Apartments - Grand Army Plaza Penthouse The biggest structural feat was moving a small stairway out of the middle of what became the kitchen. This meant creating stairs with rounded winders, a feature we continued up into the observatory, as a “hinge” between two walls of book cases.

It has three large windows presenting vistas of all five boroughs and beyond. The third wall had a small window and an ugly door that distracted from the beauty of the rest. A large pivoting book case now hides that door.

This reduces transmission loads and the need to make additional power during peak periods. Utilities already pay some users for this regulatory function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/65a61b4e-a9be-46b1-9c5a-8081d0c23e3c/5_NYC_1500.jpg Strategy - LOCALenergy Negative reaction to wind turbines has been over-reported. Studies indicate that the majority of people favor wind energy; and once installed, public approval ratings rise as high as 90%. In this context, every single turbine contributes to a tipping point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/488f01aa-48fd-428a-965b-0acecb2317d7/6_Cityfleets_1500.jpg Strategy - LOCALenergy Hybrid buses, trucks, cars and sanitation trucks are already in production. Converting the city’s sedan fleet alone would provide 30 million dollars of revenue per year by regulating peak demand. In addition, installing turbines would help New York continue to produce 80% of its electricity in the five boroughs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/e477dd75-9c6a-462a-a3fd-f4bbf56a91b5/7_FedEx_1500.jpg Strategy - LOCALenergy Changing public opinion will make it easier for private property owners to erect turbines. In addition to the substantial benefits of converting private fleets, companies that install turbines for their own use assure themselves fixed energy costs for twenty years (the effective life of the turbine). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/15561bd1-2d11-4e31-bb57-3ed08637b941/8_Garage_1500.jpg Strategy - LOCALenergy Converting large garages to V2G facilities can increase garage profits even as it reduces capital investment costs and lowers parking rates for tenants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/38315c9b-1e29-4515-b85f-26e4c38a9472/9_Regional_1500.jpg Strategy - LOCALenergy Converting park and ride lots to “park’n’charge” stations lets municipalities, regional transport systems and private car owners save money while supporting mass transit.

Well water, drawn from flowing ground and surface water, supplies 15% of the State’s water use. Three factors are stressing RI’s water resource: (1) high rates of development in communities served by well water, (2) rising per capita summer residential water use, and (3) the contamination of some water supplies. In communities served by private wells, increased water usage not only draws down the local water table which can harm adjacent farms, forests, and streams, but also in some places intercepts waters that feed downstream public water supplies.

Industrial water use is down 30% since 1990, while overall water use is up 12%. Residential and commercial now account for 75% of water use. Climbing summer peak water use is now the biggest water budget issue. In the summer, Rhode Island uses more water for lawns than for all industry in the state. We are leaving less flowing ground water and stream flow to perform vital functions including diluting and transporting sewage and supporting plant and animal lifecycles. Unlike other uses, residential water use now doubles or triples in the summer when supply is at its lowest driven by an expansion in lawn irrigation. This summer peak is especially hard for areas supplied by groundwater because wells intercept water that feeds streams and rivers. For public supply systems, volatile summer demand increases cost because systems must be sized to meet peak day demand.

Over the last few decades a number of water supplies have been taken off line because of deferred maintenance or local contamination. As a result, there are fewer sources. From a systems perspective relying on fewer sources increases our risk. For example, today the Scituate Reservoir supplies 70MGD or about 60% of all the water needs in the State – nearly a 300% increase from 50 years ago.

This includes both the pipes of individual systems and the larger interconnection systems that link them. The need for infrastructure upgrades may be a more immediate for some communities – like East Smithfield, Johnston, North Kingston and Warwick – where recent data shows non-account water use (which includes leakage and theft) higher than the State specified allotment for water lost in transmission. But all the systems need maintenance and upgrading.

Most water bills across the State cover immediate operations without providing revenue needed for improvement, maintenance, and management that will be required of us in the future. In addition we do not account for other ecological process uses (like forests, stream flow and healthy estuaries) that provide vital economic benefit to the State.

In order to insure that water will be there when we need it, Rhode Island must move to an adaptive water management system that convenes the necessary regulatory agencies and holds them responsible for collaborative decision making. Our water management system needs to develop capabilities that are currently missing. Rhode Island must adopt streamflow standards, assure an adequate reserve supply, and develop the capability to effectively manage water demand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/a6dbcb4a-a4a1-4007-8213-edcba153f23a/07_SYSTEMEFFEC-01.jpg Strategy - RI Waterfutures NEED TO MANAGE WATER USE... If we are going to have healthy streams and an affordable secure water supply even in dry years we need to control summer peak demand. Withdrawing water from ground and surface flow has impacts on our environment, but water is a recyclable resource; the supply of water is only finite if we use it once and discharge it down river. Because water use is one time, and subsidized there are significant opportunities for improvement. Demand Pricing allows people to pay for only what they consume and uses the market to make water use more efficient. Reuse before and after treatment and groundwater recharge after treatment effectively add water to the water budget. Healthy lawns require about one inch of water a week to remain actively growing during Rhode Island summers. This is a lot of water, but many Rhode Islanders are over watering their lawns. A once a week watering policy and an increase in irrigating with recycled water will benefit the flow and quality of streams and groundwater and help balance the water budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612d31841cd0f722fd28fc73/250dc6f6-b715-4217-b739-0887bdbef2b2/08_UPGRADE-01.jpg Strategy - RI Waterfutures ...AND MAKE INVESTMENTS IN SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION We need the many agencies involved in water policy to work together to develop the sources that we need. The right places have been recognized, the issue is that we need to weigh where to put our investment with ecological and safety issues.

Managing water has become more complicated as the margin between the quantity of water we use and the potential water supply grows narrower. Serious problems are emerging because our water management framework just isn’t up to the complexity of the task. We urgently need more adaptive approaches to resource protection, water supply and water use. We need to adopt streamflow standards, assure an adequate reserve supply, and develop the capability to effectively manage water demand. While the necessary changes are significant, they are not radical. Making these changes will help secure Rhode Island’s future as a good place to live and make economic investments.
