A fabulous modern penthouse has been given a fresh interior re-design by Studio Mellone, located in Chelsea, a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York. The living room is a dream, with a double height ceiling and floor-to-ceiling steel glass walls that floods the space with natural light and offers views over the bustling city. French doors leads out to a spacious wraparound outdoor terrace with plenty of spaces for entertaining and lounging. The focal point to the space is a wall of bookshelves chalk full of books. A rolling steel ladder allows access to the higher shelves, while a television has been centrally incorporated into the bookshelf design to make it not as visually noticeable. Comfortable seating arrangements welcomes conversation, while an open plan layout features an expansive dining table, perfect for dinner parties. Notable designer pieces includes Giò Ponti club chairs, a Greta Grossman reading light, an Angelo Lelli torchère.

What We Love: The living room is just spectacular, the wall of books, soaring ceilings and windows that are not only visually attractive on the inside, but the outside views are not too shabby either!
