Nestled along the Brooklyn Waterfront, overlooking the East River and Manhattan Skyline, the Kent Avenue penthouse apartment is one of its kind; New York’s industrial vibe meets soft minimalism and tactile materials in this urban retreat above the vibrating city.

The spatial design features an open floor plan with carefully considered, layered elements that define distinct zones, including a sunken seating area on the balcony where you can sit and enjoy a drink while soaking in the tub, or simply take in the stunning view to your heart’s content.

 
 

Spanning 350 square meters, the Kent Avenue penthouse occupies the entire top floor of a large building overlooking the East River. This unique apartment is divided into two distinct living spaces—a private area designed for the family and a fully equipped guest suite.

The open floor plans in both apartments are thoughtfully organized into distinct zones using carefully selected elements, creating a sense of continuity and connection while still providing relaxing and private spaces. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows further enhance the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, connecting the home to breathtaking views of the river and the Manhattan skyline, as well as the vibrant greenery of the landscaped balconies that wrap around the penthouse.

 
 
 

By blending modern design with the texture of materials, the penthouse on Kent Avenue is a statement of contemporary elegance and serene tranquility, creating a space that is both warm and intimate yet spacious and airy.
