Description
Utilizing only six natural materials and elements: stone, glass, wood, steel, tile and water, a team of master craftsmen, designers and artisans were chosen to design, curate, mill, forge and build this breathtaking home over a six year period. Matthew Hoey & Soren Rose’s "Magnum Opus Penthouse" is a true journey into bespoke craftsmanship encompassing the entire top floor, mezzanine and rooftop of 240 Park Avenue South.
The triplex penthouse offers the most stunning private pool in all of Manhattan - a thirty feet long masterpiece constructed of custom blue Mosaic Bisazza and infinity glass wall. The entire roof of the building was raised to make way for a new mezzanine level addition offering a multilevel roof deck, with exposures on all four sides.
The panoramic northern view to the Empire State and Chrysler buildings is as spectacular during the day as it is at sunset, dusk and the dead of night. An entertainment area with fireplace, wet bar and an enclosed lounge compliments the exquisite rooftop pool to perfection.
Additionally, as you enter the penthouse, a twenty four foot tall, book matched wall of hand selected Green Verdi Alpi Marble imported directly from the Swiss Alps is your first greeting with all the grandeur this penthouse has to offer - just one of the many architectural elements in the home that is unmatched anywhere else in the world.
The luxurious marble entryway is perfectly juxtaposed with the use of steel, stone, leather, wood and glass throughout the home, making for a harmonious pairing of traditional Scandinavian design with the industrial and contemporary ambience of New York City design.
