Matthew Chua of Chua Architecture transformed a 2,152-square-foot residence in 15 Central Park West, one of Manhattan’s most sought after buildings, into a modern and functional home inspired by 17th Century French architecture and fashion.

15 Central Park West is an architectural celebration of the building’s parkside vantage point. With its luxurious, full-block frontage on Central Park and show-stopping views in virtually every direction, 15 Central Park West offers the panoramic ideal for observing the light and color, nature and concrete that define life in New York.

The guest bathroom features large-format Statuarietto Marble. The custom frameless medicine cabinet, Fantini Linea Series accessories in chrome finish and Mitered edge stone shower niche detail add a touch of elegance to the home.
The master bedroom is dressed in blush pink and boasts a Gregory Rockwell bed and dressers and nightstands by Restoration Hardware. The Vladimir Kagan sofa screams luxury and fits perfectly with the French fashion theme.
