Donji kat stana sastoji se od prostrane kuhinje i dnevnog boravka otvorenog koncepta. Klizna vrata vode u formalnu blagovaonicu, a balkon i terasa na oba kraja poda mogu se otvoriti za besprijekorno iskustvo unutarnjeg i vanjskog življenja. Potpuno bijela kuhinja predstavlja modernost. Opremeljena je elegantnim skulpturalnim blagovaonskim otokom, mat lakiranim namještajem, smočnicom i nizom vrhunskih aparata iz Vikinga i Fisher & Paykela. Besprijekorna kompletna kupaonica završava prostor. Gornji kat stana sadrži par prostranih spavaćih soba i kupaonica. Glavna spavaća soba ima sjevernu orijentaciju s pogledom na Empire State Building, veliki ormar i prelijepu en-suite kupaonicu s dvostrukim umivaonicima, tušem i odvojenom kadom. Druga spavaća soba gleda na terasu, ima vlastiti privatni ormar i može se koristiti kao domaći ured. Zgrada se nalazi samo pola ulice od High Linea i Hudson River Greenway-a, a okružena je brojnim modernim restoranima, barovima, kafićima, galerijama i trgovinama, uključujući Chelsea Market. Obližnje linije podzemne željeznice uključuju A, C, E i L. Zgrada ima domara koji radi puno radno vrijeme.
