The Residences at W New York — Downtown is hosting tours of its 55th­ and
56th­floor penthouses starting Friday. All proceeds from the Designer
Showhouse of New York support the Lenox Hill HealthPlex opening in West
Village next month.
Most of these top­tier turfs are collaborations among three designers, who
worked independently to reinvent each penthouse. In one of these dozen
domains, you can walk from a chic kitchen by Patricia Fisher to a lush living
room by Darci Hether to an art­filled bedroom by Mannarino Designs. That’s a
lot of lavishness packed into one place.

“I had no idea what the rest of this place would look like,” says Fisher, one of
more than 30 designers who remade part of each apartment. “It was incredible
to see how the same spaces could be decorated in such different ways.”

“This is the kind of place for
people who want dinner parties
in the sky,” says Jack Ovadia,
who designed a kitchen on the
56th floor.
There’s an irony to showing off
high­rises to help the Lenox Hill
HealthPlex. The upcoming clinic
takes the place of the West
Village’s historic St. Vincent’s
medical centers, which closed in
2010 and are now being
converted into, of all things,
luxury apartments.

This is the W hotel in New York. It is so ordinary looking. The kitchen, the living room and the bathroom
are not at nice what I already own! I am looking for ideas to redo the kitchen and master in one of my
two homes. This is so uninspiring. Plain as day.
