The Penthouse
Material Direction
Bespoke Joinery
"A study in controlled light, utilizing oak and negative space to define an urban retreat."
Located in Manhattan, The Penthouse was designed as a refined interior. It avoids typical high-rise tropes in favor of a deliberate, measured restraint.
The structural approach relies on a restricted selection of charcoal plaster and smoked oak, creating an atmospheric interior that serves as a quiet counterweight to the urban skyline.
The perimeter glazing was reduced and deeply inset with blackened steel, transforming panoramic exposure into highly curated, cinematic apertures of the city.
Luxury is redefined not by illumination, but by darkness. Subtle reflections in dark stone and fluted glass offer depth rather than glare, maintaining a nocturnal calm at all hours.
Metropolitan Palette
Surfaces designed to absorb the city's kinetic glare.
Geometry of the metropolis.
Integrated lighting washing over dark stone, invisible metal thresholds, and exacting custom joinery.
"A space that waits for the dusk. The silence here is a material itself."
