KNOWN FOR…

its chic stores, gorgeous buildings, and grungy history, Manhattan’s Meatpacking district has emerged in recent years as one of the hottest locations in the city. Spanning an entire floor of the iconic Porter House, Paris Forino and her team has designed a beautiful luxury condo that epitomizes the hip aesthetic and refined sensibility that defines the Meatpacking district.

WITH THE UNIQUE…

opportunity to combine three units into a single condo, Forino and her team radically rethought the space’s floor plan. The owner gave Forino and her team wide berth in the design process, allowing their creativity to shine. The result is a seamless merger of the three apartments into a sprawling 5 bedroom, 6.5 bath, 5,444 sqare foot living space.

THE OPEN…

A THOUGHTFUL…

combination of Downtown chic and Uptown elegance, the condo incorporates striking details like custom fluted walnut and brass columns with understated elements including muted hardwood flooring and a clean-lined marble fireplace.

Forino opted for a smart palette of custom royal blue cabinetry and custom bronze metalwork. This scheme is carried through to the living room where an inlaid wood floor echos the subtle architectural details of the ceiling above.
