Unit #8W at the Mansion Residences is designed for those who favor the bold. A first look introduces architect Darius Toraby’s concept — 5,302 square feet of Art Deco precision across a grand living room, library, multiple foyers & private terraces. A closer study uncovers the details: brass hardware cast from original molds used at the Paris Opera House, etched glass doors reproduced from Parisian estates, and marble that required three times the typical cutting to achieve perfect book-matching. The living room's gold-leafed cove ceiling frames a 1920 Salerno French light fixture — the very reason the ceiling exists at that height. In the powder room, a glass mermaid panel commands a space designed entirely around it: black marble floors, silver ceiling, and starburst hardware. The library's sycamore paneling was selected to complement specific art, its Roman fireplace finished with bronze end plates. Even utilitarian spaces hold intention. The kitchen's black lacquer cabinets and speckled granite make daily routines feel deliberate. The primary suite's dual bathrooms feature blue mirrored glass and Italian marble, complemented by heated floors and a coffee bar. A second bedroom suite and flexible spaces maintain the same standard: nothing here is an afterthought. Two private terraces — a rarity within the building's exclusive residences — extend living space outdoors with the downtown skyline as a backdrop. Throughout, wall segments are indented for specific art, and rugs are inset into the flooring. This level of specificity promises an invigorating challenge to decorate — but therein lies the reward. As a resident, you inherit twenty-four-hour security, valet, and private access to the hotel's restaurant. This address provides what most luxury buildings only approximate: true hotel-level service in a residential setting. Furniture available for purchase.
