We are very excited about the completion of our latest project in Manhattan. We performed the interior contracting work for this gorgeous penthouse apartment designed by renowned Interior Designer, Philip Thomas.
Dearest Marilyn slept here in her NYC apartment with her husband, Playwright Arthur Miller
The sheer grandeur of this apartment rich in history had a humbling effect on us. The stories emanating from the walls conjure up laughter, flirting, fantastic dinner parties with the rich & famous of the recent past. While working, we imagined standing where dear Marilyn, Cary, Bill or the Duke once sipped champagne.
Fashion Icon Bill Blass owned the apartment in the 1970’s. Mr. Blass entertained amazing icons in this apartment including Cary Grant and the Duke & Duchess of Windsor. Bill dressed world famous women Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Marlene Dietrich, to name a few.
Marilyn Monroe moved to this Sutton Place apartment with playwright Arthur Miller after they married in the late '50s. Mr. Miller wrote the final draft of "The Misfits” here— which turned out to be Monroe's last film.
If Bill & Marilyn weren’t enough to pique your interest, singer Bobby Short and, most recently, a Swedish princess, all have taken up residence in this glorious space.
