#penthouse

The housing is located on the top floor of a building from the 1970s. Like most penthouses in the city, it is a residual space despite being the most coveted apartment. By retracting the facade, the unit is positioned above the secondary spaces of the lower floors, with narrow frames and numerous obstacles such as downspouts or ventilation ducts. The goal is to camouflage these defects and through a process of subtraction, leave its structure exposed.

Located on the 14th floor of 1010 Park Avenue, the 3,881-square-foot penthouse-esque apartment wraps three corners with open city views through 19 floor-to-ceiling windows that amplify the sense of light and space. From sunrise to sunset, the Big Apple seems to stretch right into the apartment, with everything from the Empire State Building to the Upper East Side rooftops on show. Listed with Chris Kann and Jennifer Ireland of Corcoran, the sky-high pad is asking an equally sky-high amount of $25 million.
