PREVIOuS PAGE: The view of NewYork is the centerpiece of the dramatic living room. A palette of warm taupe with pops of chartreuse, and varying textures and finishes, creates a luxurious atmosphere. TOP: The den incorporates warm colors and comfortable Swedish- inspired furnishings. BOTTOM: In a cozy corner of the living room, a painting by Ethan Cooke hangs over a sofa upholstered in chartreuse mohair. OPPOSITE, MIDDlE: The custom bath features elegant stone and walnut finishes, and hardware designed by Kikoski. BOTTOM: The kitchen is clad in walnut, with integrated appliances and a center island range with custom hood. Kikoski designed the lobby of the building, which began with a challenge from The Related Companies to debut never before seen materials that convey sophisticated and contemporary grandeur. He worked with a fine art foundry to create a 25-foot-long feature wall of cast bronze panels. Molten bronze was poured over loosely gathered linen, and as the heat from the bronze vaporized the material, a richly colored and textured pattern was left behind. These panels were complimented with backlit sheets of translucent Brazilian Oro Cristallo Quartzite, creating a contrasting play of motion and texture. In the apartments, luxurious materials, rich finishes, bespoke millwork, and custom kitchens and bathrooms evoke the warmth and feeling of a chic and elegant home. The light and airy interiors have a view of the High line below and the surrounding city. The dynamic prow-like living room features a mix of custom and vintage furniture, and a variety of textures in a soft, sexy palette of taupes, metallics, and a pop of chartreuse mohair upholstery. Hudson Yards is one of the most talked about new real estate developments in NewYork, a place where there is plenty to discuss in the world of real estate. The neighborhood, in a formerly desolate industrial area just below the Jacob Javits Center on the Hudson River, is changing the makeup of the area from 30th to 34th Streets, between 10th and 12th Avenues. The site is the largest private development in the united States, and will, when complete, include over 18 million- square-feet of commercial and residential space. There are plans for state-of-the-art office towers, as well as over 100 stores and a collection of restaurants curated by chef Thomas Keller. Besides the controversial public space known as The Vessel by Thomas Heatherwick, the development will include The Shed, a center for artistic invention, 14 acres of open space, a 750- seat school, and an Equinox Hotel. All of that on top of 4,000 residences projected to come online over the next two years. One Hudson Yards opened to tenants late last year, with design of public spaces and model apartments by New York-based architect Andre Kikoski. Says Kikoski, “Our commitment to design innovation at One Hudson Yards is expressed through a unique material palette crafted specifically for the building, and applied throughout its interior spaces.” He continues, “Our design references the surrounding neighborhood of Hudson Yards, defined by the organic quality of the High line, and the contemporary geometries of its new architecture.”
