Parisian architect and interior designer Sebastien Segers is known for his work with Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior and his 20+ year partnership with legendary designer Marc Newson. Now Segers has designed his first residential building in the U.S, a tower called Greenwich West at 110 Charlton Street in Manhattan: A building that blends early 20th Century New York style with classic Parisian and Japanese influences.
Located in West SoHo where Tribeca, SoHo and the West Village intersect, Segers thoughtfully designed the 170 loft-like residences, ranging from studios to three-bedrooms including penthouses, as well as all of the amenities at the waterfront tower.
Segers selected signature finishes inspired by the past that also make a strong modern statement, creating warmth and comfort in every space. Wide plank European white oak floors run throughout the homes, while custom kitchen islands featuring crafted “marine-edge” Carrara marble countertops and integrated bookshelves become a focal point in the room. Further extending the sophisticated design, master bathrooms boast Carrara marble walls, countertops, floors and showers, while the powder room is striped in zebrino marble. Imparting a bespoke quality, the homes also features gently-curved, hand-plastered interior wall corners to echo the building’s exterior architecture, which blends 20th-century French design with a classic New York feel through Art-deco inspired curved corners. Deep, curved window-sills topped with Carrara marble also echo the architecture and invite residents to get up close to the windows and big views.
With architecture by Françoise Raynaud – who spent nearly two decades working alongside legendary French architect Jean Nouvel – Greenwich West is the first tower in NYC designed by a female French architect, boasting panoramic vistas of the Hudson River, New York Harbor, and Statue of Liberty.
