Penthouse Renovation

Project Description

This gut-renovated apartment is a dramatic transformation of a 1970s space that was once a series of small rooms with flat ceilings. The result is a stunningly open and airy space that radiates sophistication and elegance.

The project involved demolishing the existing partitions to create an open layout that maximizes the stunning views of the surrounding cityscape. The centerpiece of the space is a massive brick chimney that has been exposed and repointed, creating a striking focal point that adds texture and depth to the space. The existing steel structure has also been exposed, further enhancing the industrial aesthetic of the space.

The roof shape has been utilized to vault the ceilings, creating a sense of grandeur and spaciousness. The ceiling height varies throughout the space, adding visual interest. The kitchen features an enormous center island that provides ample workspace and storage. The canopy hood above the 5-foot-wide Wolf range is a stunning feature that adds a touch of drama to the space. The use of high-end materials such as quartz countertops and custom cabinetry elevates the design to a whole new level of luxury.

The penthouse also features a range of other amenities designed for entertaining as well as a private terrace that offers breathtaking views of the city skyline. This project is an example of how a well-executed renovation can transform a dated space into a luxurious and sophisticated home.
