A Rooftop Aerie in Manhattan

This is Joel's house. Joel, as in Grey, as in father of Dirty Dancing progeny Jennifer. Joel lives here, amidst the rooftops of NYC. Jealous much? I am.

{From the design firm's site, Madderlake Designs Architecture + Landscape:}

"A LONGTIME RESIDENT OF THE PENTHOUSE FLOOR OF THE FABULOUS HOTEL DES ARTISTES ON MANHATTAN'S WEST SIDE, JOEL LIVED IN A LONG, NARROW SERIES OF ROOMS THAT ADJOINED A LARGE OPEN TERRACE--BUT LONGED FOR MORE INTERIOR LIVING SPACE. UNWILLING TO GIVE UP URBAN CONVENIENCE FOR A REFUGE IN THE COUNTRY, WE BROUGHT COUNTRY LIVING TO JOEL BY ADDING LIGHT-FILLED CONSERVATORY ROOMS FOR DINING, STUDY AND MASTER BATHROOM, THEN SURROUNDING THEM WITH GORGEOUS GROVES OF BIRCH AND BAMBOO, A GRAPE ARBOR OVER THE OUTDOOR DINING AREA, AND FLOWERS EVERYWHERE. THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR WAS GUTTED AND MADE AIRY; NEW AND OLD SPACES FLOW FREELY ONE TO ANOTHER. AND WHILE THE INTERIOR NOW LOOKS WARM AND MODERN, WE INTRODUCED QUIRKY ELEMENTS TO KEEP IT COZY AND INTRIGUING."
