40 West 15th Street, PHB

Available for February 1st. Showings by appointment at designated times. Lease term up to 24 months. Penthouse B at 40 West 15th Street is an architecturally significant, magazine published loft known within design circles for its sculptural quietude, material depth, and refined spatial choreography. Conceived by BoND in collaboration with acclaimed designer Edgar González, the residence reflects a rare synthesis of industrial heritage and modern precision. It is a home that reveals itself slowly, intentionally and to those who recognize the language of great design when they see it. If you're here, you're in the right conversation. The Gallery Entry and Dramatic Great Room The entry gallery sets the tone; muted, composed and architectural; ready to showcase your large format art. Pressed concrete flooring subtly ascends, revealing a sunken living room bathed in natural light from a full wall of south-facing windows. A preserved cast iron column and time-worn steel beam deliver a graphic reminder of the building’s industrial legacy, softened by a palette of pale oak, warm textiles and sculptural elements that lend the room an intimate, editorial quality. An Architectural Ceiling & Skylight Moment As your eyes travel north toward the kitchen, the ceiling gently slopes upward, a quiet yet dramatic architectural gesture that expands vertical volume and draws in additional light from a sculptural skylight framing an unexpected, almost cinematic view creating a live portrait of sky, surrounding architecture and shifting daylight. The effect is subtle but unmistakable: a moment of pure design delight. The Kitchen as a Sculptural Element A monolithic Taj Mahal Quartzite and Oak Island, conceived as a piece of architectural furniture, forms the centerpiece of this entertainer’s kitchen. Custom full-height millwork conceals a noteworthy amount of storage and appliances in uninterrupted planes, while a carved niche of honed stone acts as a miniature display gallery. • floor to ceiling cabinetry with integrated drawers and concealed appliance garages • professional cooktop set flush into the island stone • floating mirrored panels that amplify light and expand the room • wine storage This is a kitchen designed not just for cooking, but to be seen. Dining with Texture Against a wall of original whitewashed brick, the formal dining area introduces texture and incorporates the building’s rich history. It’s a space that strikes a rare balance of quiet intimacy and architectural presence ideal for hosting and gathering. A Jewel Box Home Office Adjacent to the dining area, a glass-enclosed office allows natural light to pass freely while maintaining visual separation. It’s a luminous environment for creative work, study, or reflection; a space defined by serenity rather than noise. Primary Suite – Architectural Serenity The primary suite is a study in warm minimalism. Custom oak millwork creates a continuous envelope of texture and calm. A recessed bed niche forms a comforting cocoon-like moment, while an extended mirrored wall of closets reflect morning light, amplifying the space. Oversized windows framing classic downtown vistas that include water towers, brick facades, and the unmistakable energy of Downtown. 5 Fixture Primary En-Suite The en-suite bath evokes the serenity of a European spa: • sculptural freestanding soaking tub • walk-in shower wrapped in striking bookmatched Brazilian Onyx • integrated stone shelving with concealed lighting • double vanity crafted in warm wood • radiant tones of natural, hand-laid tile underfoot Integrated Laundry & Linen Storage Discreetly concealed behind the oak millwork, a washer/dryer and dedicated linen storage are seamlessly integrated for effortless daily practicality. The suite’s overall composition feels elemental, tactile and deeply restorative. Secondary Bedroom - Bright, Clean and Comforting The secondary bedroom mirrors the home’s aesthetic softness: abundant natural light, simple geometric lines, and yet another wall of bespoke Oak closets. Perfectly proportioned, it adapts comfortably as a guest suite, children’s room, or personal retreat. Secondary Bath – A Dark and Elegant Counterpoint Wrapped in vertical Cherry paneling and grounded by charcoal fixtures, the second bath introduces a wonderfully moody and atmospheric palette. The shower, finished with artisan tile flooring and black hardware, feels modern and quietly luxurious.
