Plan
With its diagonally oriented plan and corner windows, this 2-story contemporary addition atop a 5-story historic apartment building emphasizes carefully determined urban views while establishing an exciting counterpoint to the otherwise traditional architecture below. Its rich material palette of brightly colored stucco, copper fins, anodized aluminum window frames and standing seam roof is likewise complemented by its consistent interior design. Two walls clad in pre-oxidized copper visually anchor the penthouse to the building below and relate to the soaring copper spires of a neighboring church. Inside, the apartment offers double-height living and dining areas, and a glass bridge extending across the space.
