Posh Riverfront Penthouse

The Backstory
Empty nesters trade their Alpine home for a penthouse apartment on the Weehawken waterfront. He owns a women’s sportswear company and is partial to jewel tones. She’s a California girl who is all about the sea and sand.
The Design Brief
Fashion a posh coastal backdrop for the breathtaking city view.
The Inspiration
By the Sea. A brilliant patterned rug served as a springboard for the color palette in the spacious glass-walled living space. A tailor-made multidirectional sectional sofa artfully joins two seating zones. The custom track-light chandelier – studded with hand blown glass spheres – spans the length of the room, illuminating the fine finishes and aquamarine shades accented with chartreuse. The blues take on gray notes in the bedroom and study, where chocolate paneling, a channeled leather headboard, and lots of millwork strike a serious, masculine tone.
