ALTA LIC has a custom-designed fireplace as a centerpiece of its sky lounge (altalic.com)
With summer behind us and quick dips of cold temperatures reminding us to get out the sweaters, nothing makes the thought of winter more bearable than sitting in front of a roaring fireplace. This is when the Danish concept of “Hygge” comes back into common parlance and we replace the images of warm weather with warm fireplaces. Below, CityRealty compiled a list of eight beautiful fireplaces in lobbies and amenity space that set the tone for the apartments.
