Plywood Paneling

There’s also a powder room tucked behind a discreet door.

Seamless wood paneling encloses the storage beneath the stair, and adds much needed “weight” to the staircase, says Ménage.

The primary suite features a timber-paneled wall flanked by the en suite on one side and a walk-in closet on the other. The warm timber tones complement the architectural palette found in the cityscape framed by the floor-to-ceiling windows. “The primary bedroom has one of the best views in all of the city with amazing skyline views that clear all the way north to Hudson Yards and the Empire State Building,” says Power.

Plywood panels reach up to the high ceilings in every room.

The sleeping loft can also be used as an additional seating area or workspace.

The light fixture in the hallway is from the ‘60s; it belonged to Gylfir’s mother.

All the doors slide instead of swing. “The doors are just part of the wall when they open,” says Sævarsson. “It’s a joy for me that the carpenters made it happen.”
