Bernard Madoff Luxury Penthouse

Penthouses are usually luxuriously appointed, with meticulous interior design and the finest fittings, from high-end appliances to unique and costly flooring. For example: the top floor penthouse of Robert A. M. Stern’s 15 Central Park West 20-story apartment building in New York has the following luxurious features:
• Set on a rooftop terrace, the penthouse has a view of the midtown skyline and at its feet is the whole geometry of Central Park.
• Penthouse ceiling was constructed to be thirteen and half feet high. Windows were made to be as high and wide as they could.
• Each section of the penthouse was furnished by unique materials. For the entrance gallery: marble floors and parchment panels framed in mahogany. For the library: Brazilian rosewood. For the dining room: Venetian stucco. For the master bedroom: reeded plasted. For the kitchen: Jaguar-green lacquer, bamboo and textured glass. For the interiors of the fireplaces: long, narrow 19th-century bricks imported from France.
