THE RESIDENCES

Residences

Pre-War Sensibilities

Inspired by the Rosario Candela-designed residences on Park and Fifth Avenues, architect, designer, and native Upper East Sider Peter Pennoyer has reimagined the pre-war layout for the 21st century. Proportion and flow meet symmetry and modern technology. These full-floor residences with distinct entertaining and bedroom wings create a peaceful retreat. The experience begins at the private Entry Gallery, where a landing of St. Laurent polished marble is paired with barrel-vaulted ceilings.

THE
DINING ROOM

Informally Formal

A table for twelve has never felt more comfortable. Beautifully proportioned, the eye is drawn to the full length French windows and chevron-pattern oak flooring. Uncommonly spacious, the room has double-wide openings into the Eat-in Kitchen and Living Room. For more formal occasions, handcrafted pocket doors can be closed to create a traditional setting.

Design meets function with Peter Pennoyer collaborating with Smallbone of Devizes. Distinct work areas accommodate the serious cook, and with seating options at either the kitchen island or kitchen table, there’s room for everyone to cook or mingle. Versatility meets bespoke design, from the coffered paneled ceiling with ambient lighting to the seamless integration between the appliances and the cabinets.

Pleasure is in the details. The painted exterior finish reveals walnut interiors. Hardware includes Sugatsune pulls and Lefroy Brooks faucets. White quartz countertops are paired with Calacatta Caldia marble backsplashes. Open the drawers and discover the quality, craftsmanship, and surprises. The Smallbone kitchen cabinetry for 151 East 78th Street is designed in close collaboration with Peter Pennoyer Architects. Smallbone of Devizes hand-builds the kitchens in its Devizes, Wiltshire, UK workshop and will be hand painted on site by Smallbone decorative artists using “Fine Paints of Europe” in a color and sheen selected by Peter Pennoyer. Hand-painted doors, drawer fronts, frames and appliance decor panels are additional details. Black walnut interiors including dovetail-jointed drawer boxes are lacquered for ease of maintenance.

Bathrooms

A vision cast in luxurious marble, glass, and wood with everything custom-crafted under the watchful eye of Peter Pennoyer. From the radiant-heated marble floors, to the elegant vanity with maple interiors, to the Sugar White stone marble slabs, the focal point is the Tea-for-Two marble-clad bath which is paired with a seperated eight-jet steam shower.

The secondary bathrooms include a Peter Pennoyer designed vanity with wood veneer exteriors and clear maple interiors is complemented by custom-laid White Carrara and Pompeion Grey honed marble mosaic tiles walls.

Elegant powder rooms feature sinks and vanities with African St. Laurent black marble countertops and Lefroy Brooks fixtures.

DESIGN BY
PETER PENNOYER

An Upper East Side Visionary

"Our goal was to create a proud addition to the Upper East Side where our families would want to reside. As soon as we secured the site, we knew that we had to partner with Peter. Besides being an award-winning architect included in Architectural Digest’s AD100, he is a native Upper East Sider. Peter designs, remodels, and builds apartments, townhouses, and country homes for families who appreciate traditionalism with a modern touch. His vision and attention to detail will make 151 East 78th the new standard for this storied neighborhood."
-Joshua Crane & Robert Schwartz Developers

“What’s fantastic about the layout of the apartments is that we were able to have the entertaining rooms face south, so not only are you getting extra large windows that are on the long side of the room, but they will also be bathed in beautiful southern light.”

PETER PENNOYER

This building provides the rare opportunity to design without compromise. A perfect canvas of a large floor plate with optimal natural daylight, without any of the challenges that a Park or Fifth Avenue renovation pose — small window openings, awkwardly placed structural columns or dark interior rooms. Here symmetrical spaces flow together beautifully with grandly-proportioned rectangular rooms that work with various furniture layouts.

“I love buildings in New York city that can be symmetrical and have presence on the street, but then become more interesting and more relaxed and romantic at the top.”

“The best blocks on the Upper East Side have taller buildings and shorter buildings. 151 East 78th is on a block that has variety on the streetscape — the character of the historic 19th century houses with the elegant 20th century apartments — in a fantastic location.”

Perfectly Positioned

Located on a tree-lined street, steps from world-class museums, boutiques, schools, and the best frozen yogurt in the City, 151 East 78th is an intimate collection of just fourteen three-to-six bedroom floor-through condominium residences, penthouses and one maisonette. Designed with signature amenities and details.

It’s important to us to design a building that feels like a home, and so the amenities were designed as an extension of your residence.

-Peter Pennoyer

“Standing at the coffee bar at Sant Ambroeus on Madison Avenue — there are so many languages, so many fashion choices. It’s a tiny trip to Europe.”

THE TEAM

Spruce Capital

Spruce Capital Partners is a New York City based real estate investment and development firm focused on high quality assets in prime locations. Founded in 2007 by Joshua Crane and Robert Schwartz, the firm employs a team of experienced industry professionals in construction, finance & acquisitions. Spruce Capital has developed over one million square feet of residential and commercial properties.

Peter Pennoyer Architects

Peter Pennoyer Architects is a Manhattan-based architecture firm whose defining contours are three-fold: institutional, commercial and primarily residential. The strength of Peter Pennoyer Architects – what might perhaps more accurately be described as the firm’s energy of spirit – has been in the practice of classical design. A historicist by both instinct and by training, Peter Pennoyer has aspired to be as fluent in classicism as if it were a still-living language. The past is seen as something to be firmly grounded in, something to be mined—but not to be reconstructed; let it serve rather as a point of departure from which each new project can be unshackled to “take off”. It is the very expressiveness of that vitalizing flight that the firm’s work seeks to be measured.

Stribling Marketing Associates

Stribling Marketing Associates is one of the most respected and successful development marketing groups in Manhattan, specializing in consulting, marketing and sales of new developments and conversions. With over twenty-five years of experience, the Stribling Marketing Associates team has represented some of Manhattan’s most architecturally significant properties, including The Plaza Private Residences, 200 East 79th Street, Philip House at 141 East 88th Street, 130 West 12th Street, Devonshire House at 28 East 10th Street, 182 West 82nd Street, 47 East 91st Street, 456 West 19th Street, 508 West 24th Street, Skylofts at 145 Hudson Street, and 211 Elizabeth Street.

The company creates brand experiences for some of the world's most discerning properties and their residents.

THE PENTHOUSES

Penthouses

Life at the Top

Open city views, incredible light and beautiful floor plans are hallmarks of Peter Pennoyer Architects’ three special penthouses ranging from 3,400 to 6,900 square feet. Each are sun-flooded by day and magical at night with spectacular views, high ceilings, solid oak floors, double-hung mahogany windows and Smallbone of Devizes kitchens. With beautiful terraces and timeless finishes, these penthouses set a new standard.

Penthouses are wonderful and they’re the epitome of our romance with high-rise city living. We were lucky enough to be able to create stunning, generous terraces that relate to the interior rooms in a gracious way.

-Peter Pennoyer

PENTHOUSE C - Outdoor Living

Step off the elevator into your private gallery. Custom-crafted wood French doors connect the main entertaining spaces onto majestic terraces. This is penthouse living in Manhattan.

BAY WINDOW TERRACE

An Architectural Flourish

Just one of Peter Pennoyer’s design inspirations. Your master bedroom overlooks your terrace from a special half-round bay window. So completely right.

DINING ON THE TERRACE

Penthouse A

Spend more time outside; notice the iron, limestone, and brick detailing, and all around the twinkling lights of the City. Being under the stars with a view of Manhattan is something special.
