SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
This project is a complete renovation of a penthouse apartment in a 1980’s condominium. A roof terrace encircles the western end of the apartment with 180 degree views of the skyline. The interior was constrained by fixed plumbing, mechanical shafts, and low ceilings combined with the angular geometry of the building. Our design intent was to open the main living spaces to the sweep of the view, create the illusion of higher ceiling with cove lighting, while introducing a complementary curving corridor that unified the private portion of the apartment, leading to the master suite. The requisite fixed elements of the plan are hidden behind the sweep of the hallway. The neutral palette was complemented by English brown oak cabinetry that contains the Client’s extensive book collection.
