This 47th-story aerie neighboring NYC's iconic Hearst Tower and just steps from Central Park was pared down to its studs and reimagined as a crisp, cosmopolitan escape. Inspired by the jungle setting and reclining nudes in Henri Rousseau's oil painting 'The Dream,' it employs a series of custom built-ins and furniture pieces to optimize every corner of its footprint, celebrate its sweeping views of the Hudson River and more comfortably accommodate its out-of-town owners and their guests.

COLUMBUS CIRCLE
A monumental canvas by Raymond Hendler commands the entry foyer opposite custom wall shelving placed in lieu of freestanding furniture. In the dining area beyond, we designed a custom nude leather banquette and rolled steel dining table with legs that echo the forest of trees in the Toshio Shibata photograph hanging above.

Integrated terrazzo end tables and low storage cabinets bookend a green velvet windowseat which focuses views to the outdoors and disguises unsightly HVAC and A/V components.
Tones of powder blue punctuate the primary suite's neutral palette to calming effect. A sculptural Gastone Rinaldi chair upholstered in silk velvet strikes a note of Old World elegance against Ann Purcell's colorblocked contemporary painting.

BEHIND THE SCENES
In the Guest Bedroom, we engineered a solution to improve nvaigation in its tight quarters. Traditional swing doors were removed and replaced with a pocket door at the entry and a full-height, steel framed, bronze mirrored barn door at the closet, its mechanisms disguised by a newly dropped ceiling. Top loading cabinets are integated behind the upholstered headboard and bed frame which rolls out on casters for easy access to the HVAC unit.
