No expense was spared in creating this unique home. Architect Siris Combs selected beautiful and durable finishes including Hope's Windows and French doors, natural hardwood floors and solid natural stone, and Dornbracht fittings throughout the apartment. Architect Sawyer Berson created the serene design layout of the terraces, perfect for entertaining, whether for a quiet alfresco dinner or a large party or event. The beautiful planters, surrounding greenery, an exquisite pergola and sophisticated lighting with the open exposures and light from both levels make this jewel penthouse magical 24 hours a day. Both the interior and exterior are smart wired. The exceptional stone and mill work and solid construction from the ground up were provided by Silver Rail Construction.
