This penthouse spaces are organized in the donut shaped apartment around building’s core in a clockwise manner from apartment entry to public rooms to private rooms. Continuing in the same direction a new floating stair takes you up to the roof terrace for unobstructed views of the skyline. Architects opened the buildings envelope to transform the apartment through it’s proximity to the Empire State Building.
The penthouse entry opens into a new custom glass and steel terrace enclosure providing unobstructed views of the Empire State Building just to the north with a cast in place concrete bench provide a place to lounge and take in the views.
Large windows around the apartment’s perimeter connect it to the city. At night, light from the Empire State building reflects off of the white satin lacquer core walls and the polished concrete floor, changing the hue of the apartment as it changes with the calendar.

The apartment was conceived as a super clean foil for the Owner’s collection of art and furniture which now includes a custom fourteen foot, French Racing Blue table, designed to recall his 1960′s Peugeot convertible.
All of the wood in the apartment is reclaimed from the fir beams of a demolished New York building, used in different cuts and textures, including the suspended closet boxes in the main hall clad in rough cut planks. This modern apartment designed by Rogers Marvel.
