RAMSA saves his pencil shavings according to a former employee
Now this is a penthouse!!! All the photos by Colin Miller are beautiful.
I have not seen rock-faced rusticated masonry in a long time. Real fireplaces were outlawed in NYC in 2014. One might question whether the electronic replacements are really necessary. A faux aquarium might be more interesting. Otherwise, it is a stunning building.
