Predstavljamo Sky House na ulici Nassau 150, pravi jedinstveni remek-delo. Plod mašte arhitekta Davida Hotsona i unutarnje dizajnerice Ghislaine Viñas, Sky House je jednako dom kao što je i uronjena umjetnička djela. Dvakrat je proglašen najboljim od najboljih od strane časopisa Interior Design – 2015. godine kao najbolji dekade, i 2025. godine kao najbolji u posljednjih dvadeset godina – Sky House nadmašuje svoje vršnjake upravo zato što ih nema. Svaki detalj je matematički inženjerski izrađen s preciznošću, i pažljivo održavan od završetka. To nije bio mali poduhvat; planiranje i izgradnja trajali su više od 5 godina.

Rezultat se isplatio. Prostire se na gornja četiri kata zgrade American Tract Society – uključujući puni, dvospratni arkad – Sky House se razigrano i namjerno prostire po svojih 6,500 četvornih stopa interijera.

Prvo se mora raspraviti o toboganu: spiralni vrtlog od dva dijela napravljen od njemačkog nehrđajućeg čelika. Pokreće se s gornjeg kata – oštrog vrha zgrade – i uranja na sljedeći kat. Uzmite trenutak da uhvatite dah, a zatim siđite u drugi dio, vrtlog koji veselo otpušta u predsoblje.

Ovdje, na glavnoj razini, počinjete cijeniti veličinu doma. To je velika, otvorena prostorija, gdje ogromni arkadni prozori pružaju pogled od 270 stupnjeva, uključujući rijeke i znamenitosti gradske linije. Izrezi, pregrade i vidikovci omogućuju stropovima da se uzdižu gotovo 46 stopa do samog vrha zgrade. Obim prostora omogućuje funkcionalnu stjenku za penjanje i užad za ljuljanje koja krasi sredinu sobe. Izlazak sunca i zalazak sunca bacaju nesmetanu svjetlost po podu, koji se otvara prema terasi od 1,200 četvornih stopa na istoku. Ovdje ćete primijetiti pedigre zgrade koja datira iz 1895. godine. Zeleni kosi krov, bakreni prozori i 20 stopa visoke karijatide kontrastiraju ultra-modernim završnim obradama i teksturama iz interijera.

Dom je također nesumnjivo praktičan. Kuhinja uključuje veliki otok, pružajući dovoljno radnog prostora, i uključuje paket vrhunskih uređaja od Sub-Zero, Gaggenau i Miele. Iza nje, sekundarna pripremna kuhinja savršena je za keterere ili velike blagdane. Na ovom katu nalaze se dva vinska hladnjaka – svaki Sub-Zero – zajedno s punom praonicom rublja, dva toaleta i garderobne ormare. Ako pogledate pažljivo, pronaći ćete skrivenu smočnicu iza lica stupa, i skladišni prostor ispod sekcija poda dnevnog boravka (prikladan nusproizvod podignutih podova kako bi prozori bili savršeno u razini očiju).

Na južnom kraju kata je glavna spavaća soba, koja uključuje izloženost prema jugu, istoku i zapadu. Uđite kroz medijsku ili dnevnu sobu, gdje se uvijen tobogan nalazi kao vizualni središnji predmet. Spavaća soba ima prilagođeni wallpaper i kutnu izloženost. Glavna kupaonica ima samostojeću kadu s mlaznicama, vodeni WC, parnu tuš kabinu i grijane nanoglass podove, kao i umivaonike na oba kraja sobe. Više ormara i skrivena soba omogućuju više nego dovoljno prostora za pohranu. I postoji skriveni krevet na potkrovlju, kojem se pristupa ugrađenim ljestvama, koji postaje tajno skrovište.

Usponite se stepenicama do mezanina (pogledajte prema gore dok idete kako biste vidjeli složenosti arhitekture). Hodnik koji gleda na donju razinu vodi do studije, idealne za rad ili za cijenjenje veličine doma ispod. (Ovu razinu također možete pristupiti putem natkrivene ljestvice pored kuhinje).

Treći kat sadrži još tri spavaće sobe, plus ležeći prostor za opuštanje. Naizmjenično hodajte po bijelom nanoglassu – izuzetno tvrdome, sintetičkom kamenu – i ojačanim staklenim izrezima. Prva spavaća soba gleda na jug i zapad i ima kupaonicu u sklopu i odvojen prostor za ured. Sljedeće dvije spavaće sobe imaju velike prozore okrenute prema zapadu i izreze koji otkrivaju katove ispod. Dijele punu kupaonicu u hodniku (bacite pogled kroz tuš za jasnu vizuru prema sjeveru, i pogledajte iza medicinskog ormarića).

Introducing the Sky House at 150 Nassau Street, a true one-of-one masterpiece. The brainchild of architect David Hotson and interior designer Ghislaine Viñas, Sky House is as much a home as it is an immersive art piece. Named twice by Interior Design Magazine as the best of the best – in 2015, as best of the decade, and in 2025 as best of the last twenty years – Sky House outshines its peers precisely because it has none. Every detail has been mathematically engineered for precision, and meticulously maintained since its completion. This was no small feat; the planning and construction took over 5 years.

The result was worth the wait. Spanning the top four floors of the American Tract Society building – including the full, two-story arcade – Sky House sprawls playfully and deliberately across its 6,500 square feet of interiors.

One must first discuss the slide: a two-part spiralizing vortex made of German stainless steel. It launches from the top floor – the acute apex of the building – and plunges through to the next floor. Take a moment to catch your breath, then descend the second section, a vortex that releases giddily into the foyer.

Here, on the main level, you begin to appreciate the scale of the home. It is a grand, open space, where immense arched windows provide 270-degree views, including both rivers and skyline landmarks. Cutouts, partitions, and viewing decks allow the ceilings to vault up nearly 46 feet to the top of the building. The volume of space allows for a functional rock wall and a rope swing to grace the middle of the room. Sunrises and sunsets cast unobstructed light across the floor, which opens to a 1,200 square foot terrace to the east. Here, you’ll notice the pedigree of the building itself, which dates back to 1895. The green pitched roof, copper portholes, and 20-foot-tall caryatids contrast the ultra-modern finishes and textures from the interior.

The home is also undoubtedly practical. The kitchen includes a large island, providing ample counter space, and includes a top-of-the-line appliance package by Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, and Miele. Behind it, a secondary prep kitchen is perfect for caterers or major holidays. There are two wine refrigerators on this floor – each Sub-Zero – along with a full laundry room, two powder rooms, and walk-in coat closet. If you look closely, you’ll find a hidden pantry behind a column's face, and storage below sections of the living room floor (a convenient byproduct of having the floors raised so that the windows sit more perfectly at eye level).

On the south end of the floor is the primary suite, which includes exposures to the south, east, and west. Enter through a media or sitting room, where the snaking slide sits as visual centerpiece. The bedroom features custom wallpaper and has a corner exposure. The primary bathroom has a standalone tub with jets, water closet, steam shower, and heated nanoglass floors, as well as vanities on either end of the room. Multiple closets and a hidden room allow for more than enough storage. And there is a secluded loft bed, accessible by built-in ladder, that becomes a secret hideaway.

Ascend the staircase to the mezzanine floor (look up as you go to see the intricacies of the architecture). A catwalk overlooking the lower level leads to a study, ideal for work or for appreciating the magnitude of the home below. (One may also access this level via a covered ladder adjacent to the kitchen).

The third floor contains three additional bedrooms, plus a floating lounge area. Alternate between walking on white nanoglass – an extremely hard, synthetic stone – and reinforced glass cutouts. The first bedroom faces south and west and includes an en-suite bathroom and a separate vestibule office space. The next two bedrooms each have large west-facing windows and cutouts that reveal the floors below. They share a full bathroom across the hall (peek through the shower for a clear view to the north, and look behind the medicine c
