DETAILS
Located on a penthouse located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the terrace offers stunning panoramic views of Midtown, Central Park, Broadway, the East River, and the Hudson River. The design takes advantage of this prime location with glass parapets and low planters for unhindered views.
Cantilevered ten feet above the deck is the main feature of the terrace: a green wall cladding the interior of the building’s parapet, framing panoramic views of the city. Custom-designed stainless steel sculptural panels integral to the planted wall add playful interest to the planting area. The large glass apartment façade is clad above with translucent resin panels to emphasize the architectural glass. An adaptable lighting design can be used to subtly light dinner parties and intimate gatherings or outdoor reading.

Since the dune height precluded any ocean views from the natural elevation of the site or the ground floor spaces, ...

Located at the foot of an escarpment overlooking the Waitemata Harbor and Rangitoto Island beyond, it sits across from a Victorian-styled park and was originally a gas works. However, the architecture of the residential units in Beaumont Quarter suggests a modernist reinterpretation of the traditional New Zealand Terrace Hous...
