Bathrooms: Space in the bathrooms is sculpted by inclining the stone slab wall surfaces inward around an apertures that opens into an integral lavatory basin. The lavatory serves as the lower portion of an expanded volume, set behind the stone wall surface, that houses the medicine cabinet and flush lighting installation. The result is a unified figure of space in each room with the inward inclination of the wall surfaces providing space for your toes as you stand at the lavatory.
Each bathroom is finished in white stone and plaster with a single clearly delineated volume of back-painted glass defining a second spatial volume trimmed in stainless steel.
Each private bathroom contains surprises:
A medicine cabinet opens to reveal the Brooklyn pier of the Manhattan Bridge captured in a intimate frame beside the toothbrush holder, the view channelled across the entry stairwell and out the window on the opposite side of the penthouse.
Another medicine cabinet opens to reveal the rippling stainless steel facade of the adjacent skyscraper.
A small circular window, set at eye level in the blue glass shower volume, provides a tiny vista of the summit of the Chrysler Building sixty blocks to the north.
