The unique 3,515-square-foot duplex offers unparalleled views of the city—and the stars.
Designed by architect Lee F. Mindel of Shelton Mindel & Associates, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home spans a total of 3,515 square feet. On the lower level, you’ll find a modern kitchen kitted out with high-end appliances and a dining room that opens onto a 145-square-foot private terrace. There’s also a giant living room with a retractable wall that allows you to turn the area into an outdoor loggia at the push of a button.
The real highlight is the glass, though, which in itself is a work of art. Taking inspiration from the paintings of Piet Mondrian, some windows have sections that are tinted with red and blue. The surfaces have also been treated for UV protection and are set to optimize sunlight throughout different times of the day. All the windows also come equipped with automatic shades and specialized cooling/heating systems to keep the temp just right.
Outside of the home, 40 Mercer offers a full suite of amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, spa, terrace, courtyard and an underground parking garage. You’ll enjoy plenty of privacy, too, since the penthouse is one of just 40 units within the building and is accessible only via a secure elevator.Related Stories
