In a soaring pied-a-terre overlooking central park in Manhattan is Jamie Drake’s latest ultra-luxurious commission. Drake, best known for his work with former Mayor Bloomberg – the grand limestone New York home.    

This Residential classically styled and traditional – here a base of quality materials and finishes underpins what is essentially a modernist aesthetic. In the living room, the fabulous mirrored chair is by Julian Mayor and adds notes of brutalism, the side table is by Sebastian Herkner, and the Serge Mouille floor lamp – a modernist staple, create an eclectic vignette.   

The homeowners offered few parameters beyond wanting a neutral palette of black, white, and gray; they understandably requested that nothing should distract from the incomparable skyline views. This was basically the end of the brief for Drake – within those boundaries he has created a truly forward looking interior, one which responds to the man-made world and nature that lies stores below.
