Diller Scofidio + Renfro Rebuilds a Manhattan Apartment to House Museum-Quality Art and Its Collector | Architectural Record
On rare occasion, architects get to explore particular design ideas to the fullest—all it takes is a sympathetic client with the right means and discernment. Fortunately, Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) had this opportunity in revamping a penthouse apartment in New York City. Although the project is not at the scale of a cultural or civic monument, the commission allowed the architects and a cohort of consultants, artisans, and engineers to create a singular example of this truism. As DS+R principal Elizabeth Diller remarks, “We do few domestic projects, but we took this one on because the client was knowledgeable about architecture and open to a fully bespoke design approach, down to the smallest details.”
