A major highlight of the renovation was the seamless glossy white epoxy resin floor that spans the entire apartment. This feature, executed flawlessly in a single pour, mirrors the minimalist white palette that serves as the backdrop to the space. "We wanted the floor to create a harmonious surface throughout the residence, enhancing the inspired cloudscape aesthetic," the designers explain. The result is a striking effect that amplifies the sense of openness and light, creating a gallery-like atmosphere where the clients’ art collection can truly shine. Hidden flush doors and concealed closet spaces further amplify the scheme’s minimalist sophistication while the subtle incorporation of circular forms reflects the owners’ love for circles.

Colour was introduced sparingly but effectively. The predominantly white canvas allows for small punches of bold colours and mod prints to emerge through the upholstery and select décor pieces, making a statement without overwhelming the space. Material choices further complement the home's unique aesthetic: Glossy, reflective surfaces dominate, from lacquered cabinetry to polished millwork, enhancing the curated, light-filled environment.

The designers’ meticulous balance of retro-futuristic flair and sleek minimalism extends to the curation of furniture where vintage icons seamlessly blend with contemporary designs and custom-designed pieces. "We aimed to create an atmosphere with nods to space-age sixties mod, the beauty of a well-curated art gallery, and a luxurious living space to match," the designers explain.

In the living room, Peter Ghyczy's Garden Egg Chairs from the 1960s are paired with a 2011 coffee table in lacquered wood by Lebanese designer Karen Chekerdjian and a serpentine sectional sofa, custom-designed by Hines Collective, which carves out an office space with a custom desk. In the adjacent dining area, Mattia Bonetti’s 2009 Vortex Dining Table in mirror polished stainless steel and clear acrylic is complemented with vintage Eero Saarinen Tulip Chairs with seat pads newly reupholstered in “Geometri” fabric designed by Verner Panton, plus a couple of hand-carved Corsican Chairs by Ian Spencer and Cairn Young of Yard Sale Project. In the master bedroom, a Eero Aarnio Ball Chair and Eero Saarinen Tulip Stool, both vintage, are juxtaposed with Daniel Arsham’s Dino Chair in a vibrant green hue while a custom-designed headboard that combines a lacquered wood shell with a soft upholstered interior is paired with a floating platform bed in leather by Mondo Collection.

All in all, Hines Collection’ design team has achieved what they set out to do: to create a home that is as adventurous and inspired as its owners, and worthy of its location atop one of New York's most renowned cultural landmarks.
