RESIDENCES
Interior floor plans were devised with soaring ceiling heights, flexible, gallery-like spaces, and an edited approach to embellishment. The exquisite attention to detail is clear from first arrival, with the entrances to all half- and full-floor residences featuring a private vestibule with a custom steel and Bendheim art glass privacy door and wire-brushed European white oak paneling recalling the interiors of the early 20th century French designer Jean-Michel Frank.
AMENITIES
The generous scale of 109 East 79 has allowed for the inclusion of a series of residential amenities that have the same elegance as the building itself. The welcoming Lobby sets the tone beautifully, its soaring ceiling heights and expansive windows revealing the landscaped Garden with a sculptural water wall. The double-height Fitness Center, designed by The Wright Fit, offers open views over gardens to provide a fresh outlook for morning and evening routines.
