Our clients wanted a sophisticated pied-a-terre for weekends trips into the city from their main residence. After purchasing the penthouse unit located in arguably the best location in the city, we set about removing as many walls as possible. The goal was to open the home to the view and create a graceful 1940’s high style residence for entertaining. We chose vintage furniture throughout except for upholstered items understanding todays furniture is better scaled for comfort. The main room features a book matched granite fireplace column done in classic skyscraper fashion, we let the billion-year-old rock do some showing off, no additional art needed.
