The Penthouse for Miss X is a duplex penthouse with superb city views on the top floor of an apartment building on the UES of Manhattan.

The apartment is designed with the idea to have a place to unwind as well as to relax and be together with family and friends. The open floor plan has a large seating area directed toward the terrace on both sides. The dining area and kitchen are directed to views of downtown.

The fireplace (clad in natural saddle leather tiles) and circulation area are connecting elements and enhance the spaciousness of the living area. The top floor accommodates the sleeping zone with two bedrooms and two baths. Wide plank oak floors and unfinished plaster walls lend a soft modernist feel to the rigorous layout.
