Architect: Paul Rudolph
Location: New York, NY
Price: $28 million
If you had any doubt about the marketability of super-modern, verging on urbane 1970s maximalism, look no further than Paul Rudolph's fantastic 3,000-square-foot penthouse unit that he designed for himself at 23 Beekman Place. Jared Della Valle and Andrew Bernheimer (formerly of Della Valle Bernheimer) undertook a light renovation to update the spread.
