Etk-fashion / September 3, 2017

As part of the architectural tour, the editorial team of Roomblemanaged not only to inspect famous American buildings, but also to see the interiors of modern housing. Today we will show you an apartment in one of the most prestigious new residential complexes in Manhattan. Right on the banks of the Hudson River on Riverside Boulevard is the building of the modern residential complex The Aldyn. It is positioned as the most convenient housing, which has no equal in all of New York. The architects tried to satisfy the requirements of future residents, very demanding people accustomed to comfort in everything. The building has 40 floors and 136 luxurious apartments, a huge area of glazing and ceilings that sometimes reach 9 meters. Not to mention the views of the river or the city center and the Empire State Building. It seems that every inhabitant of the planet, and not just New York, dreams of living in such apartments.

Splashing in cool water under the scorching sun to the envy of all New York - could there be anything cooler? Yes, it can! It is here, in the building of The Aldyn, that the largest sports club in Manhattan is located - La Palestra, its area reaches 40 thousand square feet. And visitors to the club definitely have something to brag about to their friends: gyms, swimming pools, basketball courts, bowling, squash, yoga and Pilates classes, bowling and even slot machines - and this is far from all that can be found in La Palestra. Most of the apartments are offeredexclusively for rent, so special attention was paid to the interiors. As The Aldyn website says: “This is a place that will become your home, where you will want to return again and again.” The interior design for the apartment was created by the firm Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors. Its founders Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch once made sets for Hollywood films, and then suddenly successfully decorated a house in Los Angeles and have been engaged in interiors since 2002.Robin Standefer and Stephen AleschRobin Standefer and Stephen Alesch In one of the apartments, which is now located insearch for a new owner, the editors of Roomble also managed to get in. Here, the principles followed by Roman and Williams are evident: eclecticism with a penchant for modernity, but at the same time a complete sense of a cozy and “live” space. Every thing can and should be used, and in such an interior, residents can relax and feel at home. Everything is exactly as it says on the website of The Aldyn! Two-story apartments, full of air, a living room with two-story glazing, a comfortable dining room for a large family, bedrooms fully adapted for real life, bright, cozy textiles and many lighting scenarios, not counting the natural light, which is definitely enough in sunny weather. I would like to live here! Related articles But that's not all we managed to see in New York! Expect new interesting details and photos of the trip from us very soon.

How to live in America: an apartment in Manhattan, on the banks of the Hudson

Etk-fashion / August 2, 2017

In New York we were able to see how those who livefor whom the American dream has come true. Let's take a look at these perfect apartments, the future owner of which we are already jealous of. In the Upper West Side, at the intersection of 62nd Street and Riverside Boulevard, there is one of the most luxurious residential complexes in New York - One Riverside Park. The building has 35 floors, 219 apartments, and its location is simply amazing: residents can admire Manhattan, the serene Hudson or Riverside Park, depending on which way their apartment windows face. The complex was built by Goldstein, Hill & West Architects. Since 2009, this architectural firm has been engaged in the construction of high-rise residential and hotel buildings, retail and multifunctional complexes, and even took part in the work on the New York subway. In the case of One Riverside Park, the architects chose a simple but sophisticated approach — “from the ground to the sky”: the lower floors do not have a large area of glazing and are made mainly of natural limestone. But the higher you go, the less of it there is, and the more glass there is, and the upper floors can already boast panoramic windows.

For this amount, future owners will get 12 living rooms - including 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms - and a spacious terrace with a private pool. From time to time, those wishing to buy elite housing look here, as well as lucky ones like us, who were allowed to take a peek at the ideal apartment. Once inside, we found that everything here is ready to receive owners. Every little thing, including textiles, decor and lamps, is in its place, although no one has lived here before. How did this happen? Everything is explained simply!In order to present and sell the apartment profitably, the developer negotiates with famous brands and completely furnishes the apartment with designer furniture, appliances and accessories. Each item is presented as an exhibit, as if in a museum, and buyers will be able to better appreciate the scale and convenient layout if they see real housing rather than bare walls. The main thing is that the apartment can be purchased with or without furniture, or you can keep only individual items you like. In any case, the interior is thought out to the smallest detail, so the chances that the owners will not want to part with it are quite high. A library with a fireplace, a functional kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, bedrooms ideally equipped for relaxation, and decor that meets all the trends - to say the least, you don’t want to part with all this.
