Soho Penthouse Duplex Renovation

This was a gut renovation of a 3,300sf duplex apartment in Soho including the design of a 2,500sf rooftop terrace. In this simple, modern living room a floating ceiling was created to add drama while the grasses in built-in planters outside mask views of the building’s rooftop to the rear. The stair in the center of the apartment creates a sculptural element tying the 2 floors and rooftop together, and custom lights were designed to “float” the entire height of the space, providing an added visual element. A skylight and wall of glass were also installed at the top of the stairs to bring more light down the stairwell to the lower floors. As the clients regularly host events in their home, we designed “a kitchen that does not feel like a kitchen”.  The island is a carved stone sculptural piece, the countertops have invisible edges and all appliances are integrated.  Our firm also did the landscape design on the rooftop, integrating new structure that permitted the planting of (2) 40’ tall Pin Oak trees.
