This 5-bedroom apartment in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, located on Riverside Boulevard, was created by merging two units in a previous renovation but lacked unity in its design and failed to showcase its most impressive feature, stunning Hudson River views from almost every room. Elemental redefined the layout, enhancing critical spatial relationships and presenting visitors with a clear path to the breathtaking views. The great room and foyer are lined with bright white lacquered walls, and light-stained white oak floors reflect natural light into the interior. A cloud ceiling in the main space draws the gaze outward and enhances perimeter lighting. Designed for a family of four, the children’s wing can be acoustically isolated with a large pocket door, and the 5th bedroom, which doubles as a media room, provides versatile use without disturbance.
