Amidst The New York Skyline

SET IN ONE OF THE MOST DESIRED LOCATIONS, THIS LUXURIOUS PENTHOUSE IS A BOLDLY CURATED SPACE, MAKING FOR A HOME THAT’S BOTH EXTRAORDINARILY OPULENT AND DELIGHTFULLY COSY.

The Big Apple is often referred to as one of the greatest cities in the world. This city that never sleeps is certainly a hub for modern design and luxury living, apparent through the metropolis’ awe-inspiring skyline. Among those New York skyscrapers is a luxurious penthouse, designed by Arthur Dunman of Jed Johnson Studio, that houses several unique and exclusive design pieces, such as the incredible Newton Dining Table by Boca do Lobo. A genuine materialization of the client’s wishes, this home is a pinnacle of artistry and elegance. The designer, who has collaborated on various luxury residences projects, has concocted a cosy and immaculate environment as per request where “luxury meets contemporary.” Aesthetic functionality is the key phrase here – in this New York penthouse, both practicality and beauty are ever-present.

Entering this singular luxury penthouse, any visitor will be sure to notice the immaculate attention to detail that makes each and every corner of this home uniquely personalized. A classy white is used as a base colour, but every room has its own scheme, allowing every space to have its own vibrant atmosphere. Touches of blue colour the bedroom and living room, while yellow and creamy hues are added in the dining areas. Metallic elements of gold and silver is artfully used unite all these spaces. The living room has a perfectly done “maximalist” feel to it, with its perfect blend of unique elements. The patterned flooring and the niches in the ceiling make this room a sensorial experience. The mix of textures such as the smooth marble coffee table and the plush coach elevate that as well. The fullness of this apartment alludes to a plentiful lifestyle and an abundance of character.

Creating a contrast is the master bedroom design, where it is more airy and less cluttered. Still, the pieces used here such as the rounded wingback armchair with a top reminiscent of a ball chair but more sophisticated reflect the inhabitants’ personalities. A white and light grey palette is used to make this place more spacious. Not to be left out is the secondary dining spot. This lemony space adds such a surprising element of fun to this pristine and elegant home, which makes the whole penthouse feel much more personalised and curated. Another space that holds pieces that feel so wonderfully cherrypicked is the kid’s bedroom, which is furnished with the most luxurious shade of royal blue. Offset by the pure white that is found all throughout this property, though, it does not come off as oversaturated, but just the right amount of a rich ocean shade.

The light fixtures of this home are especially eye-catching. Light fixtures are sometimes overlooked, but they can add such a unique and valuable ambience to a room or even just the entryway or hallway, which is something that the designer definitely kept in mind with the array of different lights used. It’s a perfect way to add interest and opulence to a space, no matter how small.

While each part of this luxurious design is worth gushing over, the star of this project is the dining room that epitomizes the design ethos of “luxury meets contemporary.” The furniture pieces all come together to tell a cohesive and artistic story. The added décor such as the sculptural round mirror against the brown and gold sideboard gives rise to a sense of luxe grandeur. Overhead hangs a jaw-droppingly brilliant chandelier that brightens up the entire room. In the centre of it all is the Newton Dining Table by Boca do Lobo. A dining table is one of the core elements that define a home, as mealtime is often when everyone gathers around and connects with each other. This gorgeous and intricate table certainly fits the bill of such an important role. This dining room is boldly elegant, what with its unique mix of textures, materials and shapes. While each element is divine on its own, they come together to form a harmonious ensemble where not one feature overwhelms or overshadows the next.

The design here is completed by the stretch of New York’s brilliant avenues, a view that graces each window of this apartment. But within these walls is also a marvellous sight to behold, what with the truly inspired décor, highly curated pieces and unique and personalized atmosphere. This New York penthouse simultaneously borrows from the metropolitan world right outside its door and also serves as a soothing escape from that reality. This luxurious apartment in the sky is the place to be.
