WORLDWIDE PLAZA DUPLEX

Located in Midtown Manhattan’s iconic Worldwide Plaza, this fully renovated duplex transforms an ordinary space into a sophisticated urban home. Designed for a busy Columbia University anesthesiologist, the project balances elegance and practicality, maximizing space and value for a growing family.

The duplex’s two floors offer contrasting atmospheres. The lower level creates a cozy, intimate sanctuary with a luxurious primary bedroom, spa-inspired bathroom, and a nursery designed with natural tones and durable finishes. Upstairs, a bright, open plan living, dining, and kitchen area invites family gatherings and entertaining. The German-engineered kitchen features durable, stain-resistant materials in a sleek monochromatic palette. An expanded light cove unifies the open living space. Surrounded by windows, it is flooded with natural daylight, while a relocated gas fireplace enhances comfort and functionality.

Every detail blends utility with refined aesthetics. Upstairs, the space formerly occupied by a utility room was expanded and converted into a third bedroom and into a solid exterior wall we added a glass terrace door introducing daylighting and outdoor access. An upgraded powder room now functions as a full bath, finished with in white quartzite floors and walls finished in white porcelain and marble. A private hallway connects these two spaces and a lockable door to the living space creates a self-contained suite ideal for guests or a nanny.

This reimagined Manhattan duplex balances privacy and openness, blending timeless design with adaptable solutions. Thoughtful use of a reductive color palette and seamless transitions create a cohesive and inviting home tailored to evolving family needs.
