Center House at Van Wagner Place

This is part of a complex of commercial, business and residential buildings that have been developed by Steven Tinkelman on the eastern side of Poughkeepsie. It is located near the Arlington Town Center.

This three-story mixed-use building consists of approximately 3,920 SF of flexible commercial/office space located on the lower level of the building with six residential dwelling units on the upper two floors. These consist of one- and two-bedroom floor plans, designed with residential living in mind:

• Two-story units – Two bedrooms with private porches off of the living areas.
• Two-story units – One bedroom with a loft space.

Units feature oversized windows with the loft units taking advantage the double height spaces for window walls that flood the units with daylight. The exterior of the building steps in and out creating the unique façade which sets it apart from other multi-residential buildings within Poughkeepsie. The gable roofs have been accented with large overhangs, as well as gable and shed roof forms. The commercial level has a covered porch that stretches the full length of the building, supported on wood and masonry columns. A tower element is located on one end of the building, highlighting this visible corner. There is a playful use of windows around the building which provide dynamic views from the inside the residence.

The interiors are modern with clean crisp lines and simple trim profiles. The finishes consist of bamboo flooring, ceramic tile, vinyl composition tile and carpeting which are all low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).

The development of the site included the use of rain gardens and permeable pavement used to limit stormwater run-off as well as native plantings that are incorporated into the landscaping.
