apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Writer Gina Bazer refers to the fact that Mertz throws parties here - a lot - and that the place really fits the part, feeling like a happening nightspot. Our favorite elements, though, are more daytime-driven: the 3,000 sq. ft. rooftop deck with outdoor shower, the pergola for lounging bordered by tall grasses, and the endless light streaming through the entire condo.

Other enticing features: a glass enclosure on the roof, a green (the color, that is) open staircase, concrete floors, and a Plexiglas "lighthouse" that houses the bathroom. For more photos, you'll have to check out the issue in the flesh.
