Introducing The Penthouse at Seven Harrison, a striking turn-of-the-century building now re-imagined by Architectural Digest 100 architect Steven Harris. Located at the corner of Harrison and Staple Streets in the center of historic Tribeca, Seven Harrison features just twelve three-and four-bedroom residences, including this sumptuously landscaped duplex penthouse, a splendid rooftop oasis measuring over 4,200 square feet with four bedrooms and four and one half bathrooms and offering open Eastern, Southern and Northern exposures with beautiful views of the downtown skyline.
The newly constructed upper level, consisting of a suite of impressive entertaining rooms, is an extraordinary glass pavilion evoking the aesthetic of midcentury master architects Richard Neutra and Philip Johnson. Enclosed on three sides by glass walls with individual panes measuring up to 20 feet wide, the Penthouse is surrounded by an expansive landscaped terrace measuring over 2,300 square feet. Designed by Rees Roberts + Partners, the terrace features 12 mature trees (15-20 feet tall) growing seamlessly from the limestone terrace floor, substantial additional flush-planted landscaping, a large reflecting pool and an outdoor entertaining kitchen.
The upper level is accessed directly from the elevator via a walnut-paneled entry foyer. The expansive entertaining rooms, including the north living room with gas fireplace (convertible to wood burning), the formal dining room and the south living room all overlook the landscaped terrace through the full-height glass walls creating a unique indoor/outdoor experience. A sky-lit stair hall and oversized south-facing kitchen featuring an adjacent stainless steel scullery/butlers pantry complete this level. The stairway leads to the bedroom level below that houses 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The sumptuous Master Suite with Southern views to the World Financial Center features grandly scaled walk in closets and a superb windowed bathroom.
Designed with the impeccable attention to detail that is a Harris trademark, this special residence’s interiors are imbued with the refined contemporary aesthetic that has made homes designed by Steven Harris so sought after by the world’s cognoscenti, and are destined to set a new standard for downtown’s most coveted neighborhood on Tribeca’s most prized block.
