this home demonstrates a clever use of outdoor spaces, where some of the smaller terraces off the bedroom and bathroom are perfectly used to creating privacy. the main direct roof terrace is exceptional in its own right with great vegetation used for privacy screening an excellent outdoor kitchen and even a pool.
About
tribeca skyhouse: a modern sanctuary of glass and greenery
perched above tribeca’s rooftops, this glass-walled penthouse is both architecture and art, a luminous modern sanctuary in the sky. designed in collaboration with bksk architects, it spans over 6,700+/- square feet with 3148+/- square feet of landscaped terraces and is plumbed for an endless pool swim spa. framed by panoramic views from the hudson river to the brooklyn bridge, it merges downtown authenticity with serene, contemporary design.
a keyed elevator opens to a soaring loft defined by light and volume. connecting all three levels, the floating glass staircase and american crescent residential elevator offer effortless movement throughout the home, complemented by a 36-foot rock-climbing wall that adds a sculptural focal point. the open great room, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, is anchored by a 10-foot-wide gas fireplace and double-height 24’ceiling, offering an inspiring backdrop for entertaining, film screenings, or quiet evenings with skyline views.
the chef’s kitchen blends form and function with basalt and quartz surfaces, henrybuilt cabinetry, a bulthaup island, and professional-grade appliances by sub-zero, gaggenau, and miele. a living green wall introduces an organic contrast to the architectural lines.
three bedrooms on the main level each feature en-suite baths with natural stone and dornbracht fixtures. smart infrastructure includes lutron-controlled lighting, multi-zone hvac, concealed wiring, and advanced security systems, balancing innovation with ease.
upstairs, an open office and lounge overlook the great room adjacent to a sitting area with wet bar. to the north, a cozy terrace invites morning coffee or sunset views. to the south, a gym adjoins the primary suite, a private retreat wrapped in three exposures. the primary bath evokes a spa with a boffi soaking tub, dual steam shower, sauna, and poliform closets, opening to a tranquil bamboo garden.
crowning the home, two grandly scaled landscaped rooftop terraces offer cinematic vistas. the north terrace features a full viking kitchen, fire pit, and dining area. the south terrace is equipped with a powder room for easy rooftop entertaining and is plumbed for an endless pool, completing this one-of-a-kind urban retreat.
situated in tribeca’s cultural heart, 71 murray street is surrounded by acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and waterfront parks, with easy access to major subways. with only twelve residences, a full-time doorman, and private storage, the building combines intimacy, discretion, and architectural integrity, creating a rare blend of glass, greenery, and light above downtown manhattan.

west-facing at this height with one world trade framing every sunset, the view does most of the heavy lifting. eight feet of width is just enough for a proper dining setup, and they have used it well. a direct living terrace with 494 square feet, glass railings preserving sightlines to the harbor and jersey city beyond. good privacy, solid sun, the kind of space where a dinner party actually works.

Expert Opinion:
the width of this wrap around terrace make it very pleasant, and the multiple access points make it practical, the one drawback is that the largest, most practical spot for entertaining is next to the bedrooms.

Expert Opinion:
blurring the lines between a loggia and a terrace, these outdoor spaces have the benefit of protection from the rain, but the heavy columns rob it that feeling of open sky views.

Expert Opinion:
this 200-square-foot direct living terrace offers a rare 10-foot depth, comfortably accommodating full-scale dining. however, the 6.5-foot privacy fencing is a double-edged sword: while it creates a total sanctuary, it completely robs the space of its perspective, trading any potential city view for a walled-in, private room feel.
