How Do You Make a Luxury Penthouse Even Better?

Jack Vatcher / Builder: The Lagasse Group

The Challenge

When a homeowner combined two units on the 58th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, the new penthouse had enviable square footage but a disjointed flow. Separated by a solid wall, the living and dining spaces felt closed off from each other and at odds with the panoramic city views. The homeowner wanted the rooms to feel more unified, open, and serene—an elevated sanctuary with an ethereal quality to match its perch above the clouds.

The Solution

The homeowner tapped her design-savvy daughter, Amy Rosse, to refine the interiors, while the Lagasse Group executed the build-out. Their boldest move: replacing the wall with a striking glass partition fitted with doors. The transparent divide keeps the dining room defined yet visually connected to the living area. Rosse anchored the space with a custom pink-soapstone dining table inspired by a 1stDibs find and paired it with bouclé-upholstered chairs that balance sculptural form and comfort. Above, a linear fixture with ceramic spheres, first spotted on Pinterest, brings a playful yet elegant touch. Soft textures and muted tones reinforce the cloud-like, meditative mood, ensuring the dramatic views remain the star. As Rosse puts it, “It sort of feels like you are in a cloud in the sky.”
