Studio ST Architects
Studio ST Architects renovated a pre-war Manhattan penthouse to accommodate a multi-generational, Malaysia-based family and highlight the wrap-around views of Central Park from the living room, dining room and kitchen. Framed by drapes made of Nobilis fabric, newly replaced windows provide breathtaking views of the park’s treetops. Herringbone-patterned oak floors complement the gentle warmth of the kitchen’s Bianco Lassa countertops and Henrybuilt’s rift white oak cabinetry. The kitchen offers more than a place for cooking, but also acts as a refuge from the city.
“The kitchen island is the area where I spend most of my time. It’s the first place I go in the morning to prepare breakfast, where I sit for morning virtual classes, and where I enjoy an espresso as I take in the view of the park,” said the client’s daughter.
The deep Bianco Lassa countertops were designed to accommodate the homeowner’s robust German-made ECM Manufacture espresso machine, which matches the stainless steel La Cornue range. As the homeowners requested, the kitchen island accommodates seating on both sides, encouraging one to peer out at Central Park and allowing people to gather around for food and good company.
