NEW YORK
SOFTENING THE EDGE OF A HELL’S KITCHEN
PENTHOUSE IN THE SKY
In this newly built high-rise overlooking Manhattan, Reis Daniel was tasked with warming the clean precision of modern architecture. The result is a residence that tempers boldness with subtlety—refined, sculptural, and inviting.
A palette of deep black, soft caramel, and paper white brings cohesion and calm. Monumental artworks anchor the open spaces, while curved furnishings and tailored textures add intimacy to the vast scale of the penthouse.
Every detail is intentional—from the weight of the materials to the rhythm of the rooms—blending the sharp energy of city living with a quiet elegance that feels deeply personal. Here, contemporary design doesn’t shout; it settles, soothes, and stays.
In this striking new construction high-rise, we embarked on a mission to infuse warmth into modernism's stark simplicity. The thoughtfully curated palette of rich blacks, warm caramels, and paper whites creates a sophisticated harmony that defines each space. Monumental abstract artworks and sculptural furnishings transform this sky-high residence into a gallery-like setting where comfort meets creative expression. Through careful material selection and purposeful design choices, we achieved an elevated interpretation of contemporary living that retains its cutting-edge spirit while celebrating the softness that makes a house truly feel like home.
