54 Bond St #PENTHOUSE, New York, NY 10012

The only private residence by Vincent Van Duysen in New York City. Perched on the most coveted street in Noho, the Penthouse at 54 Bond has been masterfully curated by renowned Belgian designer Vincent Van Duysen. No detail goes untouched in this thoughtful renovation spanning over 6,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living. Meticulously conceptualized and renovated, the interior atmosphere is serene. It is created by a particular selection of materials that generate comfortable and inviting spaces, rendering an exclusive but homely feeling. French oak, natural stones like sandblasted limestone, and honed Carrara marble are thoughtfully used throughout the home, while all metal elements are executed in dark bronze, creating a dramatic contrast with other surfaces. Thoughtful upgrades extend to more than what meets the eye, including new structural beams on each floor, new HVAC systems, and 28 oversized sound-attenuating windows. Architectural lighting, Van Cronenburg hardware, Vola fixtures, and an impressive array of custom and vintage furnishings nod to the home's exacting design standards, while Domotica smart home controls deliver effortless ease and comfort. The fourth floor contains the main public functions of this private residence. From the main hall, an important visual axis connects the grand living area and the library with the family kitchen, creating a sense of grandeur and interconnecting all the spaces as an immersive spatial experience with 14 oversized windows with south and east exposures. The library was conceived as a multifunctional space; an extension of the adjacent areas, creating a comfortable and homey playroom or a more formal dining area if required. The fifth floor accommodates all the private and night zones, with special emphasis given to the cashmere-paneled master bedroom, which is designed as a private suite with a vanity that continues in the different zones of the bedroom. The bathroom assumes the central role in the space, connecting the dressing rooms, steam showers, and sleeping area. The top floor includes a rooftop lounge, located behind the building's meticulously restored façade, along with an outdoor covered terrace and a spa area. Planting design by Piet Oudolf landscape architect. A long architectural element in natural stone unifies the different areas, creating a strong relationship between interior and exterior spaces, and housing a concealed firepit, an outdoor and indoor kitchen counter and the hot tub and sauna. The former Bowery Lane Theatre, which became an Off-Broadway theatre, was originally a bank building with a cast-iron façade constructed from 1873 to 1874, designed by Henry Engelbert in the Italianate style. The interior design reflects this important legacy of the building, by generating a sequence of rooms with a strong relationship with the façade and the cadence of openings and exterior views.
