Ricky Martin and his apartment in Manhattan

December 24th to hot Puerto Rican guy RickyMartin is turning 43. In honor of the singer's birthday, we have prepared a virtual tour of his two Manhattan apartments for you. How many lucky people do you know who can boast of owning two luxurious apartments in Manhattan? Today we will introduce you to one of them, although this person does not need a special introduction. After all, at one time this Puerto Rican handsome man was constantly on TV screens, and his famous hit with the mysterious title Livin’ la Vida Loca ("Living a Crazy Life") sounded from literally every speaker. We are talking about Ricky Martin. On December 24, the popular pop singer Ricky Martin turns 43. We were wondering: is the life of the star still as crazy as his most famous song says? Apparently, it is. Isn't it crazy to have two luxurious apartments in the most elite area of ​​New York, which are practically next door? Ricky Martin bought his first apartment back in 2007, when he was single and independent. The apartment with three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, furnished in a modern style, perfectly met all the requirements of a bachelor. However, a year later he became the father of two charming twins, and, probably, the expensive floors made of elite Austrian dark oak and snow-white furniture no longer seemed such a good design solution to the owner. Probably tired of being crowded with his twochildren on a modest 245 square meters, in 2012 Ricky Martin bought another apartment in Manhattan. Its layout and interior are much more suitable for a caring dad. The singer's new apartment is 50 meters larger than the previous one, and also boasts an additional bedroom, a bathroom and a special playroom for kids. Multi-level ceilings reach 3.5 meters. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural light. The open layout of the apartment leaves the owner room for interior improvisation. For example, in a spacious hallway with windows, you can easily arrange an office, which Ricky Martin will certainly need, having already tried himself in the literary field as an author of children's stories. In fairness, it should be noted that inRicky Martin's first (bachelor) apartment in Manhattan is currently on the market. So if you have a spare $8.3 million, you can try out the pop star's lifestyle.

Features of Manhattan interior fashion as exemplified by Ricky Martin's apartment:

  • Please note the non-standard layoutRicky Martin's first apartment: a small dining table is located in the corner opening between the hallway and the kitchen. Why would it be necessary? But it was this clever design move that allowed the singer to create a kind of buffer zone in his apartment, providing additional privacy (which is very important for a public figure). By seating unfamiliar or unwanted visitors at this table, the owner could simultaneously observe the rules of decency (not keep guests in the hallway) and at the same time not let them into the personal living space of his apartment.
  • Huge floor-to-ceiling windows are typical of Manhattanarchitecture. It is simply impossible to resist settling down by one of them with a cup of coffee or a book. The retro couch in one of the bedrooms of the first apartment is just right for this kind of pastime. This technique for using the space by the window is quite applicable in our reality, if you turn the windowsill into a couch with a comfortable mattress or a set of pillows.
  • Ricky Martin's second apartment is being observeda large number of short-pile carpets. This type of floor decor is a great compromise for a family with small children. Short-pile carpets do not collect as much dust as their fluffy counterparts, and at the same time are warmer and more pleasant to the touch, which is important for children who like to spend a lot of time on the floor.
  • Marble is still considered one of the mostnoble finishing materials. However, many people mistakenly believe that it is appropriate only in luxurious classic interiors. To fit marble into a modern design, you need to use competent color and geometric combinations. As an example, consider the floor in the kitchen of Ricky Martin's second apartment: a combination of strict, elegant rectangles in black and white.
  • Zoning is appropriate even in single-functional spacesrooms. For example, in Ricky Martin's bedroom (second apartment), the wall behind the headboard is painted light blue. This design move creates an emotionally distinct comfortable sleep zone.
