This unique luxury apartment is located in New York, in one of the city’s earliest surviving skyscrapers, built in 1896. The home extends over four floors and has a striking interior. The Skyhouse penthouse was designed by David Hotson Architect in collaboration with Ghislaine Viñas Interior Design. Its most memorable features include a polished-steel slide and a climbing wall.
Penthouse Apartment in One of New York’s Earliest Skyscrapers
Although the apartment sits in a historic New York skyscraper and the building has a retro character, the penthouse itself is unmistakably modern. The interior is defined by geometric forms and a minimalist palette, mostly in white, with orange and blue accents in selected places. Glass appears on every floor, and geometric glass panels serve as interior partitions throughout the apartment.
Modern New York Penthouse with a Roof Terrace
The penthouse has a terrace with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. Wood flooring creates a warm, intimate atmosphere, enhanced by comfortable lounge furniture in bright colors. The semi-circular windows contrast beautifully with the modern interior. The designers also imagined playful ways to move between floors when stairs or the elevator feel too ordinary: a climbing wall leads upward, while a mirror-polished metal slide carries residents back down.
