A building of penthouses—not just a penthouse in a building. This 2-bedroom + den, 1,308 sqft corner residence is one of just 20 homes, each with no shared walls and light in every room. Rare South and North exposures offer a quiet connection to tree-lined West Eighth and an architectural lightwell anchored by a Japanese garden. The horizontal layout lends an immediate sense of calm and scale, with an open flow between kitchen, dining, and living—ideal for hosting at a table for eight. Every detail reflects the design-forward philosophy of the office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers (OMB), where form follows function and luxury lives in restraint. Thoughtfully sculpted with an unusually high exterior-to-interior ratio, this is architecture and interior design in quiet dialogue.
