Inside and outside compete for starring roles at a skyscraping, art-filled apartment in Midtown Manhattan
Designed by Rafael Viñoly and completed in 2015, 432 Park Avenue is notable for its bold, square windows. Set in a regular pattern across the 425.5m-tall tower’s slim volume, these openings are defined by their distinctive shape, oversized nature and long views; strolling within is like hovering between skyscrapers yet, at the same time, being in constant dialogue with the city, its roofscape unmistakable at every turn. Perched on its 65th floor, high above the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan, an apartment created by interior designer Fernanda Dovigi for her and her family feels like a serene oasis, but with such a strong flavour for its setting, could anything possibly compete with those incredible views?
