Park Avenue Residence, New York, USA Architect:
Gabellini & Ass. Description
This Park Avenue apartment occupies a corner Manhattan site on Park Avenue with four exposures and three gracious terraces. The design concept was to create a serene, horizontal spatial field defined by white french plaster ceilings and walls and a continuous honed Arria limestone floor. As a backdrop to a renowned 20th-century photography collection, the material palette comprises the tones of a vintage, platinum print. The spaces required by the program were defined by the existing perimeter walls and discrete free-standing volumes placed within the interior. The main living spaces, the study and the master bedroom, are treated as courtyards articulated by black volumes of ribbon mahogany and are illuminated by the glowing light volumes of three translucent glass enclosed bathrooms.
