These lobby fireplaces are giving residents a warm welcome home

As the holiday season quickly approaches, so does the change in weather. Finding a source of warmth is top of mind as we enter the beginning of sweater weather season, and nothing beats the heat from a functioning fireplace to curl up next to. While the fireplace has been traditionally known for its physical warmth, it has also become an impeccable design statement. I wanted to pique your interest in featuring these luxury residential lobbies that are equipped with beautifully designed and functional fireplaces that provide guests and residents with a warm welcome home.

The Cortland

The Cortland, a NYC-based development located across from the Hudson River Park in West Chelsea, includes 144 residences designed by two of the world's leading architectural practices, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Olson Kundig. Each residence features expansive open-plan living and dining areas with warm wood flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows. The lobby of the project is equally as impressive as its one million brick facade, luxury amenities and beautiful interiors, featuring double-height ceilings dressed in marble imported from Italy. The lobby also includes a signature Olson Kundig fireplace operated by a kinetic wheel, as well as a custom bronze and onyx light fixture designed by Markus Haase, providing guests with a warm and welcoming feel as they enter the building.

Selene

The Midtown Manhattan luxury tower designed by the Pritzker Prize winning Foster + Partners, has relaunched as Selene, a fully realized contemporary landmark. Formerly known by its address 100 East 53rd Street, Selene offers perfect pied-à-terre residences with sweeping views of New York City. In addition to 94 bespoke residences, Selene offers its very own urban sanctuary with four floors of luxurious wellness and social amenities, including a beautifully-designed lobby with dramatic fireplace and custom furniture by AD100 interior designer William T. Georgis. (Photo Credit: Williams New York).

Rose Hill

Rose Hill — Manhattan's new Art Deco-inspired skyscraper located in NoMad features a stunning "Blue Room" that is situated just off its grand lobby space. Named for its jewel-toned accent wall that extends across the ceiling, the Blue Room features multiple seating areas that are centered around an elegant marble fireplace clad with a bronze finished ornamental screen. Here, residents can gather for business or pleasure, taking in views of the private outdoor terrace. The building also features a second fireplace located on an impressive amenities floor on the 37th level. This floor provides all residents with the penthouse treatment through a private resident's lounge that boasts incredible 360-degree views of the city skyline and a cozy fireplace that adds character and ambiance to a library curated by Strand Books.
