Matthew Blesso Loft in NYC by Joel Sanders

This inspiring green and natural eco-friendly penthouse loft is the Matthew Blesso loft, a beautiful penthouse designed by Joel Sanders architects for real estate developer Matthew Blesso. Its a 3200 sq ft loft that was designed in associate architect Andrea Steele and landscape designer, Balmori Associates. The main concept of this modern natural penthouse loft is by merging two architectural components between building and landscape by bringing nature in and pushing living space to the outdoors.

The loft’s interior is awash in lush vegetation, sustainable woods and natural fibers. Exterior wood decking and plants flow into the heart of the penthouse forming a “planted core” that separates the private and public realms. A glass wall separates the bathroom from the planted zone, allowing the owner to bathe surrounded by vegetation.

This “living wall” links the interior to the roof. An open staircase provides access to a rooftop garden planted with grasses and sedum, which has been transformed into a veritable “living” room furnished with a mini-kitchen, a large movie screen, and an outdoor shower surrounded by lush vegetation.
