Overlooking the high sky and sunlit Brooklyn

Today we will introduce visitors to a personwhose thoughts can soar high in the clouds, but his heart is forever occupied by his own house, which is a kind of unique artistic work. If you see a house with an amazing view of lower Manhattan, you will most likely be visited by two bright associations: a small and cramped shoe box and a penthouse filled with gold. That is what occurred to Zelde Josephs real estate broker, who, somehow basking on the city beach of New York, noticed a spacious and light area filled with sunlight on the 22nd floor of a building called Brooklyn Heights. This apartment has snow-white walls, rich natural wood floors, a small amount of high-quality hand-made furniture that organically fit into the space, as if circled by bright red lipstick, creating your personal, unique personality. Moreover, a huge terrace with a place to form flower beds allows the hostess to feel that she practically hovers over the whole cityscape. The only thing that it gets used to with great difficulty is the location at the very top of the skyscraper. According to Zelda herself, in a few years she learned to cope with the height and wind, but during the hurricane Sandy she still had to go down. Who lives here: Zelda Josephs. Location: Brooklyn Heights, New York neighborhood. Size: 350 square meters; 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, study. The stools and chairs painted in scarlet tone seem to give a fashionable kiss to the snow-white walls and to the floor in the color of a warm Brazilian walnut. The mistress of the house, probably, too often sat on bar stools in New York, before realizing that this was her style. Before installing them in the kitchen, she doubted between red and black colors, but the compatibility of red with the rest of the interior tones won. The spacious terrace and flowered garden are justa few steps from the living room. A spectacular view of Manhattan arises in the distance, like the Emerald City of Oz. When you first see this place, it takes your breath away from the habit, and it becomes a bit scary, but Zelda’s son fell in love with him at first sight, and he told his mother about it. Then the decision was final. Several well-chosen furniture itemsfill the gaps of those places from which you can not see the magnificent landscape. Each room should have pieces of a kind of puzzle that Josephs began collecting several years ago. It includes furniture made by her favorite artist Jake Solomon: a dining table, a coffee table and a writing desk in the office. They were purchased back in 1979 and 1980 on sales, and over the years Zelda began to love and appreciate them even more. When Josephs bought the apartment, the kitchen was dark and cramped. Later, she decided to hang a few more lockers above the bar, which finally spoiled the interior. As a result, the kitchen was reconstructed and received an open, free space, not without some chic. Polished natural wood cabinets from David Greenberg and state-of-the-art appliances were added. After his son bought his own apartment, Josephs transformed his bedroom into a comfortable office. Handmade Desktop by Jake Solomonis the favorite thing the owner of the house. It is made from solid mahogany slab, and in the Japanese style is held together with wooden pegs, which replace the bolts and screws. Not surprisingly, the apartment located onThe 22nd floor of the building is literally saturated with natural light. In the main bedroom there are pieces of furniture inherited by the hostess, as well as two very attractive artistic canvases, which with their simplicity perfectly enliven the decor of the room. There is a cozy blue armchair in which she liked to relax after school Zelda, when she was still a child. Josephs placed a pierum here belonging to her mother, whom she admired in childhood. It consists of an antique mirror and an elegant table with many retractable drawers. On the snow-white wall of the bedroom right at the headboardthe bed hangs the only canvas that immediately attracts attention. This unusual painting belongs to the brush of the Netherlands artist, and in it the Italian love message is sealed, which must be unraveled in the bedroom. This unique accent gives the interior a delicate piquancy. The bathroom has an original sink, likewould be glued to the wall. This is a designer plumber from the Travertine store, which has only two copies in the world. The models that Zelda liked were already sold to another client, but the craftsmen managed to persuade them to make another set. The bathroom is dominated by an orange-cream tone, reflected in the designer mirror, as if the sun from the street falls here. When Josephs moved into her apartment, it wasit was still in the 1980s, the living room and kitchen were completely separated. Zelda maximally opened the space and expanded the kitchen to create a sense of continuity, which is characteristic of a big city.
