This triplex penthouse apartment was reinvented as an open vertical loft. The complete renovation included an enlarged stair opening at all three floors, partially raising the floor level of the second floor for a more elegant spatial transition and a new sculptural stair case.  The sizes of the existing kitchen, powder and bathrooms were reconfigured.  The kitchen features integrated doors or panels that hide the appliances and cooktop, allowing for an elegant open entertainment space.  The red slate slabs of the fireplace wall were handpicked and arranged to form a composed whole.  The versatile master suite contains ample hidden storage, an office niche, a dressing/sitting area and a custom designed bed.   A third floor guest space was created.  The terraces’ classic New York view can be enjoyed form a colorfully lit hot tub unless one prefers to watch a movie on the outdoor screen.  The terrace kitchen and bar assures comfortable outdoor entertaining. My client is having a fantastic time.
