Modern in Manhattan
This sleek penthouse located in Manhattan was designed by Joel Sanders Architecture and is described below. I can’t stop looking at the gorgeous mix of wood, steel, light, and greenery. The towering fireplace wall and the stairwell to the rooftop terrace? Paradise. pb
“Rethinking the notion of an urban garden, this project introduces a dynamic ground plane, composed of a planted carpet surmounted by wood flooring that vertically links a penthouse loft with a roof terrace that affords panoramic views of downtown Manhattan. This eco-friendly palette of synthetic (carpet, Richlite, recycled glass) and natural (recycled walnut, IPÊ decking, plants) materials crosses the border of the roof, eliding and at the same time confounding traditional distinctions between inside and outside, natural and artificial.
As it travels from loft interior to roof, this layered ground plane responds to a variety of domestic programs; in the living lounge, embedded upholstery evokes a textile garden, while on the roof terrace, a bed of sedum defines a walk able outdoor carpet. Likewise, the recycled walnut floor folds vertically to create a staircase that leads to a matching IPÊ roof deck.”

Reblogged this on It's beautiful here.
Excellent blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little
lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform
like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are
so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thank you!
