Manhattan House Features Signature Residences by Iconic Designers (Exclusive)

Filed under: Celebrity Design, Architecture & Design

Manhattan House, the iconic, landmarked residential condominium on the Upper East Side, has teamed with renowned Interior Designers James (Ford) Huniford, Celerie Kemble and Rita Konig to create three signature residences at the building. All three residences are part of the Manhattan House's newly unveiled "The Modern Collection," which are brand-new units available in the building that were created in response to a growing demand for larger homes in the city.

The Modern9 (seen in the photo above) designed by James (Ford) Huniford is a three-bedroom, three-bath 3,350-square-foot space featuring a library with wet bar, windowed kitchen, breakfast room, and powder room. It is designed in the spirit of Manhattan House's Pritzker Prize-winning architect Gordon Bunshaft. "I designed the space with a client in mind who has a busy life," Huniford told Luxist. "This is for someone who enjoys the luxury of space and a uniqueness of palette. The space is soothing. It is for people who love art and design. It has a practicalness in the way that it is laid out."

The Laurel in NYC Offers Designer Open House

This weekend in Manhattan a wonderful open house event will be hosted at The Laurel, a new LEED certified, 31-story luxury condominium tower on the Upper East Side at 67th Street and 1st Avenue, to benefit the Worldwide Orphans Foundation. For two hours you can peruse four separate spaces each defined by a designer of distinction and representing one of four magazines: Veranda, O at Home, House Beautiful and Town & Country. The apartments on display were created with a specific, imagined resident in mind and speaks to that chosen character's interests. You can also catch these stunning living spaces in upcoming issues of their respective magazine. Tickets cost $30 plus tax and are available for two-hour time blocks on a first-come, first served basis. My personal favorite is the Town & Country space -- so elegant yet equally welcoming.
