SoHo Penthouse Loft - Nepravilna Ljepota Ponovno Zamisliti na Prince Street

Dizajniran od vizionarskog arhitekta Thomasa Leesera, uma iza njujorških ikona poput One Vanderbilt i tvornice šećera Domino, ovaj jedinstveni penthouse loft na ikoničnoj Prince Street u SoHou je konceptualno remek-djelo i fino usklađen dom.

Odbacujući sterilnu uniformnost luksuznih kondominiuma Manhattana, ovaj stambeni prostor prigrljuje nesavršenost i kontrast. Mramorni ploče, svaka jedinstvena u obliku, tonu i završnoj obradi, prkose rigidnoj kartizijanskoj mreži, stvarajući živu skulpturu gdje se složenost pretvara u mir. Otkupni drvo, betonske blokove i kamen dijalogiziraju s rafiniranim završnim obradama, slaveći kontradikciju umjesto da je prikrivaju.

Prostrani dnevni prostor doseže stropove visoke 30 stopa ispod monumentalnog prozora. Preveliki prozori pozivaju mirnu svjetlost na francuske hrastove podove iz 17. stoljeća, dok kamin na drva osigurava prostor s toplinom. Bez spuštenih stropova, gipsanih ploča ili unutarnjih vrata, otvoreni plan evocira kreativni atelje u srcu SoHou, New York.

U središtu, prilagođena Valcucine kuhinja iz Italije kombinira umjetnost i funkcionalnost. Obložena talijanskim kamenom, opremljena je vrhunskim aparatima: Sub-Zero hladnjakom i ladicama za zamrzavanje, Miele indukcijskom pločom za kuhanje i električnom pećnicom, Fisher & Paykel perilicom posuđa i Miele perilicom i sušilicom rublja.

Privatni prostori nastavljaju temu kurirane nesavršenosti. Glavna spavaća soba kanalizira intimnost svjetskog hotelskog razreda, s sculpturalnom belgijskom glinenom kade za namakanje, masivnim otvorenim tušem s minimalističkim John Pawson armaturama, podovima od kamena s podnim grijanjem i prilagođenim detaljima poput antiknog postolja i sudopera od fosiliziranog drveta. Ogromno ogledalo se naginje uz zid. Blago nagnuto, stvara neobičnu iluziju nagnutog poda. Gostinjska soba, do koje se dolazi kamenim stubištem, ima tuš s bezvremenskim cementnim pločicama, prilagođeno ogledalo, parnu sobu i još jedno antikno postolje s umivaonikom od fosiliziranog drveta, sve završeno s armaturama John Pawson.

Funkcija se susreće s udobnošću u promišljenim detaljima: loft je zvučno izoliran, a podno grijanje grije kamene podove i u glavnom nivou i u gornjoj kupaonici, osiguravajući ugodne zime.

Arhitektonska naracija nastavlja svoju najteatralniju ekspresiju na otvorenom. Na više od 1,000 četvornih stopa privatnih terasa, mural ručno oslikavan obavija svaku površinu, pretvarajući terase u nadrealnu pozornicu koja radikalno kontrastira s horizontom Manhattana. Terase okrenute prema sjeveru, zapadu i jugu nude i utočište i spektakl.

Ovaj penthouse nije samo rezidencija već arhitektonski trijumf - kurirana iskustva koja ponovno zamišljaju ljepotu kroz nesavršenost, prigrljuju kontradikciju i nude rijetku priliku posjedovati trofejnu nekretninu i pravu naslijeđe dizajna u srcu SoHoa.

 

SoHo Penthouse Loft - Imperfect Beauty Reimagined on Prince Street  

Designed by visionary architect Thomas Leeser-the mind behind New York icons like One Vanderbilt and the Domino Sugar Factory-this one-of-a-kind penthouse loft on SoHo's iconic Prince Street is both a conceptual masterpiece and a finely tuned home.  

Rejecting the sterile uniformity of Manhattan's luxury  condos , the residence embraces imperfection and contrast. Marble slabs, each unique in shape, tone, and finish, defy the rigid Cartesian grid, creating a living sculpture where complexity transforms into tranquility. Reclaimed wood,  cinderblock  and stone are set in dialogue with refined finishes, celebrating contradiction rather than concealing it.  

The expansive living area rises to 30-foot ceilings beneath a monumental skylight. Oversized windows invite serene light across 17th-century French oak floors, while a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space with warmth. With no dropped ceilings, sheetrock, or interior doors, the open plan evokes a creative atelier in the heart of SoHo, New York City.  

At its center, a custom  Valcucine  kitchen from Italy combines artistry and utility. Clad in Italian stone, it is outfitted with top-tier appliances: Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer drawers, Miele induction cooktop and electric oven, Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher, and Miele washer and dryer.  

Private spaces continue the theme of curated imperfection. The primary suite channels the intimacy of a world-class hotel, with a sculptural Belgian clay soaking tub, a  massive open shower  with minimalist John Pawson fixtures, radiant-heated stone floors, and bespoke accents like an antique pedestal and petrified wood sink. A  floor-to-ceiling mirror leans against the wall. Slightly angled, it produces the uncanny illusion of a sloped floor.  The guest suite, reached by a  stone staircase , features a  walk-in shower with  hand made  cement  tile  a custom mirror,  steam room, and another antique pedestal with a petrified wood sink, all completed with John Pawson fixtures.  

Function meets comfort in thoughtful details: the loft is soundproofed, and radiant heating warms the stone floors both in the main level and the upper bath, ensuring cozy winters.  

The architectural narrative  continues  its most theatrical expression outdoors. Across 1,000 square feet of private terraces, a hand-painted mural envelops every surface, turning the terraces into a surreal stage that radically contrasts the Manhattan skyline. With north, west, and south-facing views, these terraces offer both retreat and spectacle.  

This penthouse is not just a residence but an architectural triumph-a curated experience that reimagines beauty through imperfection, embraces contradiction, and offers a rare opportunity to own a  trophy property  and true design legacy in the heart of SoHo.
