Luxury amenities

I wouldn't live in the Sculpture for Living if you paid me. (Well, of course I would if you paid me, but I doubt that's likely to happen any time soon.) I rarely agree with Michael Blowhard on matters architectural, but he's absolutely right when he criticises "the way it detaches itself so completely from its surroundings".

But boy do a couple of the features of the $12 million penthouse sound cool. First, there's a "mini 'morning kitchen' just outside the master bedroom" for an espresso machine – I don't know why, but the idea of not even having to go into the kitchen to get one's morning jolt really tickles me. And then there's "the windowed walk-in closets (the better to choose your wardrobe while you're looking at the weather)". Dude. A windowed walk-in closet – and, given the design of the building, a floor-to-ceiling window at that. That's pretty cool, even by New York standards.

Windows in closets are really not that uncommon in my experience -- well OK they are not common but I have seen them in older houses -- but they are definitely extremely cool.

But not having to walk into the kicthen for coffee? Huh. Well I guess that's what makes markets.

Is this posting supposed to be ironic? If so, well done!
