Skyhouse is a unique New York City penthouse located at the summit of one of the city’s earliest surviving skyscrapers. The four story volume, which had not previously been used as a residence, was designed in 1896 and situated twenty-one stories above the street.

The penthouse was completely re-designed by NYC-based architect David Hotson, in collaboration with Ghislaine Viñas Interior Design. The interior features an amazing polished stainless steel slide that spans the four levels. In contrast to the austere architecture, the interior boasts a bold and saturated colour palette and pop art references.
