This video provides a comprehensive tour of an ultra-luxurious apartment located in New York City. The apartment is designed by renowned architect and artist Hiroshi Sigimoto and offers a unique blend of modern and traditional Japanese aesthetics.
The apartment has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, spanning over 8,000 square feet of living space. The entire apartment is designed as a living art piece, with materials imported from Japan and elements of nature incorporated into the design.
One of the most striking features of the apartment is the use of Shikui plaster, a traditional Japanese material that improves the environment by absorbing CO2, VOC gases, and odors, and preventing dust buildup. The floors are made of 1,000-year-old cedar planks from the island of Yakushima, which is now a world heritage site.
The apartment also boasts stunning views of the Hudson River, Central Park, and downtown New York City. The windows are designed to optimize both city and sky views, and the shades are made of centuries-old cedar from Vancouver Island.
The kitchen is a gourmet chef's dream, featuring hand-pounded aluminum, Miele appliances, and a custom maltina range. The bathrooms are equally impressive, with tough stone finishes, hand-cut cedar doors, and built-in furniture.
The apartment also includes a home office, a grand salon with a couch, and a library. The master suite is located on the 79th floor, offering views of both the Hudson River and Central Park.
The video concludes with a discussion about the apartment's uniqueness and the listing agents' perspective on it. The agents describe the apartment as the pinnacle of their 40-year career in real estate, and they express surprise that such a luxurious space exists in New York City.
