It's gorgeous, but I don't think I'd like a glass bedroom.

This place is so gorgeous, its ridiculous! But it doesn't look "lived in"

I dig that bed.

if I had a million dollars...

Lisa - in the article it talks more about the glass master bedroom: "The master bathroom is enclosed in glass and visible from the more public parts of the apartment. But Mr. Blesso simply has to push a button to turn the glass translucent. It’s one of a number of now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t features devised by Mr. Sanders. The wall separating the bedroom from the living room is made of sliding glass panels, but Mr. Blesso can lower a huge opaque shade for privacy."

DON'T BUY ALL YOUR THINGS FROM DWR. MIX IT UP A LITTLE!

I want that bed

to me it feels like a modern office building but I can't put a finger on what it is exactly.

Major rootftop envy...

I like it, not for me, but it's interesting. I think it's lacks a bit of personality. I do however need that bed. I will go ahead and add that to my growing list of things I want : )

Why would you want an outdoor shower if it wasn't enclosed? For me, using an outdoor shower at the beach house is a real treat because it's enclosed so I get totally nekked and enjoy the fresh air in privacy!

Office building! That is the first thing I thought of too!

I think my first clue was the generic office plants in the fixed planter next to the stairs. The house is pretty, but doesn't look lived-in and despite fine artwork and furniture, seems bereft of character. It looks like the inside of a downtown law firm or an advertising agency.

Of course...I am also wildly jealous...

Love the roof deck -- it is truly gorgeous!

However, like another poster, some of the interior feels like an office, particularly so in the bathroom... I think it is because the sorts of plants used inside the home are generally used in offices, and they have that sort of feel.

Plus, everything in the home looks to have been bought new, and there don't seem to be any pieces from the owners' life before... makes it lack depth and character.

The bed is really pretty. I love the roof and outdoor shower.

I think the reason that this place feels new, doesn't have character or personality is because the owner is a d-bag former banker turned real estate developer in NYC. Kind of worst combination of stereotypes. From the article, it seems like he was highly influenced by the landscape developer and architects he worked with. As in, it was their brainpower and his desire for status and trendy items.

What office has plants on a vertical wall in the bathroom? I totally disagree with this categorization! I think the owner did an amazing job of incorporating modern design while still having the space feel very warm and comfortable. It looks very Zen-like to me and I love how all of the materials are so tactile.

Hm, it seems all the owner did was hand over a large wad of cash to the architects/designers - good for him.

Tolomeo lamps, Wegner chairs, DWR sofa (a bit blah), Maya Lin stool, Arad rocking chair the collection of wooden stools/end tables. Nice, but a bit predictable (not that I wouldn't take the Wegner chairs if I found them on Craigslist).

The bathroom plant fedora around the mirror however looks a bit stupid.

it certainly screams 'money', but it is beautiful. needs a lot of clutter to look lived-in, though :-P the only thing i really envy them is the rooftop garden.

Is it me or is the "have a person walk by on a slow shutter speed to make it look lived in" getting old? To me, what makes it looked lived in is personal items, etc.

That first pic with the plants totally screams office building atrium. I like the other spaces in it though

A million dollars? A million wouldnt buy you the bathroom in that place...

Totally gorgeous, but a little over the top. With the recent financial news... I wonder if they can STILL afford it?

Hey, I'd move into that place any day.

Love the grafitti art.

As for living walls, I just think...allergies.

The bed is hideous. Really, look at it. I've seen them in person at the quality is junk. Just some scraps from illegally harvested tropical wood nailed together by kids in Indonesia, and sold as "reclaimed". Reclaimed from what exactly? A big tree cut down last year and have left in the sun to wither. They cost a fortune too - robbery. .. But the rest is quite nice, even if a bit unimaginative.

And he's single! How do I get a date with him?

God, I hope that those young, attractive people in the pictures don't actually live there.

I do like the wall art and the plants around the mirror.

Half the fun reading AT threads is laughing at all the jealous miserablists!

uck annoying.. who has that much money?
