Central Park West Penthouse Duplex, Manhattan, New York

Another example of beautiful New York penthouses is located on 40th floor at Central Park West, designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects llc. This 5,000-square-foot penthouse duplex affords unique panoramic views of the New York City skyline and beyond.  



"The owner, with a family of 7, specified a dense program, providing us with an opportunity to investigate and reinvent unique design elements throughout the space. One of the primary design strategies is the relationship between the dining and library spaces around the double height living room, compositionally integrating the staircase, cantilevered piano off of the balcony, the art wall wine display, the glass and gunmetal wall and railings. In addition, the moving bookcase between the library and study, allows natural light to the powder room while providing desired privacy to the study. From the master steam shower one can see through the electromagnetic glass, across the apartment to Central Park.

The material palette establishes a consistency throughout, while maintaining the formal parti and compositionally rich sculptural intervention, simultaneously rendering the space as a serene, private oasis separate from, but visually engaged in the city."

Today we received interesting concept design for hotel room in Bulgaria by Branimira Ivanova & Desislava Ivanova of Gemelli Design Studio. Take a look how girls imagined combination of orange and green colors.



"The basic concept of this space is the converting of the flat surfaces – walls, ceiling - into a three-dimensional sculpture. With the use of luxury ceramic tiles for this sculpture the room turns into a curious and exciting space.

To become an entire organism we decide to use colored textile that looks like the texture of the tiles."
