Located in one of the round corner turrets of the Ansonia, a landmark of Beaux-Arts architecture on New York’s Upper West Side, this pied-à-terre offers bright daylight and city views throughout. Although compact, the apartment was designed to feel spacious and airy through open vistas that allow one to see through each room to the large windows along the building’s facades.
These views culminate in the round living room which is encircled by windows and evokes the feeling of floating on a cloud. Daylight from the windows extends into the dining room at the center of the apartment. This apartment was also the setting for the best-selling, historical thriller novel The Interpretation of a Murder. In the novel, a murder takes place in the round living room at the turn of the 20th Century, suggesting the evocative power of the distinctive space.
