Loft at Urban Glass House

This expansive loft space covers the entire floor of a penthouse in the Urban Glass House, the last residential project designed by Philip Johnson. At first, the project involved designing all the apartment layouts, finishes, and public spaces of the building. The Penthouse owner then hired Selldorf to design their complete interiors. Features of the apartment include six dozen floor-to-ceiling windows, a double-sided fireplace on a black granite base, and a 2,000 square foot terrace with 360-degree views overlooking the Hudson River and downtown Manhattan. Design elements include Chevron-patterned oak floors, and linoleum kitchen cabinets that echo elements found in Phillip Johnson’s original Glass House.
