Measuring 3,600 sf (335 m²) on the lower duplex level, paired with an 800 sf (75 m²) upper floor and a 1,000 sf (95 m²) roof terrace, this duplex penthouse is tailored to the lifestyle of the clients—founders of NYC’s Inscape Meditation Studio, whose meditation space we previously designed.

Rejecting conventional apartment layouts, the residence evolves into a multi-layered “living-scape” balanced for meditation, leisure, and playful daily living. The loft delivers diverse sensory experiences: a vibrant central living zone with modular sofa sets cultivates a lighthearted atmosphere, while the intimate dining area features dramatic light-and-shadow contrast for quiet social gatherings.

Architecture and custom furniture merge seamlessly into a cohesive spatial system, forming holistic interactive zones rather than rigidly divided functional rooms. A glass-wrapped mezzanine, illuminated by overhead skylights, connects directly to the sprawling outdoor roof deck. The skylights harness passive solar warmth in winter, while comprehensive shading systems prevent overheating in summer. Low-VOC water-based coatings and renewable building materials minimize the residence’s environmental footprint.
