New York was the birthplace of the apartment and it still provides the focal point for layered living. Where else did the term Manhattan lofts come from? It's impossible to walk the streets of New York City and not wonder where exactly it is that everybody lives. A penthouse on Fifth Avenue; a garden apartment in the East village; an artist's loft and exhibition space in SoHo or a private house tucked away on a quiet corner. A dazzling array of New Yorkers abodes, located all over the sprawling metropolis and designed only by the most prestigious architects, are on view in this work. You can enjoy the privilege of visiting living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms in a through the keyhole journey which allow you glimpses of the owners personality as translated by a designer.
