the glass house design of this apartment makes the terraces an integrated part of the whole design, the execution is perfect here, with enough room for relaxation, and dining, but the pool is divine
About
this may be the most important penthouse ever to come to the market in soho, verifiably the only one of its kind. virtually impossible to replicate, this collector-grade pristine duplex home is nestled in a discrete section of soho, one of downtown manhattan's most desired neighborhoods and it is engulfed in dramatic, humanly-scaled views with mesmerizing light all day, all year round.
perched atop this architectural landmark built in 2015 and designed by jonathan caplan/project space, this expansive 6,700sf duplex penthouse boasts open, protected views north, south, east, and west via approximately 500 linear feet of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that lead onto remarkable wraparound terraces exquisitely landscaped by legendary designer piet oudolf....that lead to the ultimate amenity: a private, full-sized 30ft swimming pool that floats above historically landmarked soho. while there is tremendous value in protecting the architectural splendor of this neighborhood, it is the height restrictions that benefit all, filling the cobbled streets with light all year round.
bought pre-construction as a raw space, an extensive, multi-year-long renovation, using the finest materials and craftsmanship, has produced an international-quality home of the very highest order, designed by caplan colaku, whose award-winning practice ranges from residential work — renovations and new-buildings — to collaborations with artists, and designs for galleries and museums. this prize residence easily accommodates 5 bedroom suites with multiple living rooms to entertain on a lavish scale, or live intimately with a wood-burning fireplace centered in the upstairs living room that has floor-to-ceiling windows and terraces surrounding it. each bathroom features unique, rare, museum-quality natural stone slabs and the very highest level of fixtures and appointments. the kitchen and additional wet bar are of a professional caliber that allows for seamless entertaining. the craftsman-quality millwork is equally impressive. ducted, zoned climate control and humidification systems and sophisticated integrated lighting systems deliver the perfect environment for an extensive art collection.
the immaculately managed, this pristine building delivers all expected modern-day comforts including a 24-hour doorman, self-parking for two cars, and a large gym with natural daylight.
this home represents a caliber of real estate that rarely becomes available in a lifetime. everything is within moments of your front door: from the new disney and google headquarters to the west in hudson square to tribeca a few blocks south, every conceivable world-class restaurant, boutique, hotel, museum, etc is an equally important aspect of this magical setting, a true, authentic new york experience.

the elevation and the dimensions, as well as the location of these terraces make them a very little practical use. however, the views from this elevation are pretty spectacular. if you must have a cigarette, this is as good places.

Expert Opinion:
triplex apartment with excellently useable terraces on each floor, making it rare in nyc. the one imperfection is the lack of views or ambiance.

Expert Opinion:
mature boxwood hedges doing serious privacy work on a south-facing direct living terrace. nine feet of width accommodates a proper seating arrangement, and someone clearly uses this space. the neighbors can see in if they try, but the greenery makes you forget to care. cocktails for four, easy.
