One of the largest apartments in Manhattan, this modern New York City penthouse located in the Trump World Tower on First Avenue was designed by ODA Architecture. This luxurious pad consists of 18,000 square feet of living space, spread out over the top two levels of the building—the 89th and 90th floors to be exact! With an abundance of glass walls, the apartment showcases 360 degree views over the New York skyline.
The Asian-influenced design scheme features six bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, an impressive art gallery and sculpture garden. Additional highlights includes a 30-foot waterfall and reflecting pool, zen garden, teahouse, game room, cigar room, recording studio, screening room, day spa and gym and a barrel vaulted wine cellar that can hold up to 2,000 bottles. In case you are wondering who owns this impressive piece of real estate worth $33 million, it’s billionaire entrepreneur Chinh E. Chu.

Above: Entering into the apartment, you are greeted by walnut double doors. The ultra-luxe hallway is awash in a marble and limestone garden, showcasing gallery walls filled with work by Asian artists. According to Architectural Digest: “a mound of porcelain sunflower seeds is by Ai Weiwei, an anthropomorphic bronze statue by Masayuki Nagare, and a Leigh Wen painting of abstracted waves—are stationed like sentries.
“Nine stepping-stones span a reflecting pool fed by a 32-foot waterfall, a paper-thin sheet of liquid spilling quietly behind a white-onyx stairway lit from within by LEDs. On the far side of the pool is a full-scale wood-and-rice-paper teahouse constructed in Kyoto and assembled on-site by Japanese craftsmen.”
