56 LEONARD

In collaboration with ODA, this penthouse project was envisioned as a retreat in the sky—elevated both in altitude and aesthetic. Perched on one of the building’s highest floors, the concept drew inspiration from the feeling of being high above the city—wrapped in clouds. The bedrooms were designed to soften the boundary between interior and sky, using a serene palette and ethereal textures to evoke calm and weightlessness.

To balance this airiness, we introduced bold contrasts throughout the space—deep, moody tones and dramatic lighting that brought in the atmosphere the client desired. These grounding elements gave the penthouse a sense of quiet strength and sophisticated edge.

My role in the collaboration focused on selecting furnishings, lighting, and materials that would support this duality. Every detail—from the curvature of a lounge chair to the soft diffusion of a pendant light—was chosen to honor the cloud-inspired concept while enriching the emotional tone of each space.
