Design Story
A long wall of windows gives this MacDougal Street penthouse exceptional daylight and a strong urban outlook. TIOR STUDIO responded with a pale sofa, glass coffee table, and open-frame lounge seating that keep the room visually light.
Warm timber, a ribbed media console, and sculptural lighting provide structure and depth. The result is refined but relaxed, with every element supporting the view and the generous circulation.
A Lounge Chair in the Light
The open timber lounge chair creates a distinct reading position without closing off the window wall.
A Tailored Media Wall
The ribbed white console integrates storage beneath the television and keeps the long wall visually quiet.
Function Beside the Chair
A small round table extends the lounge chair into a practical corner for coffee, books, or evening use.
Objects with Vertical Presence
Tall branches and a curved vessel bring organic height to the otherwise linear media composition.
Sculptural Light at the Window
The arc lamp traces a fine line across the glass and directs light toward the center of the room.
A Soft Sofa Profile
The pale sofa follows a low horizontal line, keeping the city view open across the entire seating area.
An Open Conversation Edge
The lounge chair sits just outside the main sofa axis, expanding the conversation area while preserving movement.
Transparency at the Center
A glass coffee table provides generous surface area with minimal visual weight over the textured rug.
A Calm Urban Palette
Ivory upholstery, light timber, and sheer curtains soften the surrounding city geometry.
A Living Room Oriented to Daylight
The wide view shows the seating and media wall aligned to preserve continuous access to the windows.
French Softness, Urban Clarity
The final composition combines curved, tactile furniture with a crisp and highly legible plan.
