Perched on the 44th floor of a new-build high-rise in Carnegie Hill, this spacious penthouse offers a cinematic sweep of Manhattan’s skyline – a panorama that is both awe-inspiring and, at times, dizzying. ‘On a very windy day, you can feel the subtlest sway,’ notes Heide Hendricks, co-founder of architecture and interior design studio Hendricks Churchill.
The owners – a young couple with three small children – had lived in a similar high-rise during the pandemic, an experience that left them with mixed feelings. ‘They had grown tired of the monochromatic palette and minimal furnishings,’ says Heide. ‘When they found this apartment, they were wary of repeating the aesthetic. They approached us because they were ready to take a risk and explore uncharted territory.’
