This 12th-floor loft in the Chelsea Mercantile has
been adorned to perfection by its owner, designer Christopher Hyland. From
floor to ceiling, 12-inch high baseboards to wood-and-plaster crown moldings,
Hyland has brought his passion for fine architecture and exquisite interior
design to life in this 12-room masterpiece, his tribute to Greek Revival. A
stone-tiled vestibule greets you upon entry and ushers you in to the art
gallery at the heart of the apartment.
Surrounding rooms include a breakfast
room, gym, library with battlement bookcases, Doric column-flanked double
drawing rooms, a Gothic kitchen of hand-carved oak, five full baths and a floor
plan that can be configured into three to five bedrooms. 8-foot-high mahogany
double doors and 10- to 12-foot ceilings allow for a spacious, open atmosphere
that can quickly be transformed to cozy privacy. Hyland’s handpicked décor
weaves in cultures from all over the world and features custom wall coverings,
rugs and window treatments from his world-renowned textile collection.
Over the
past 10 years, this luxurious home has hosted dozens of parties and benefits,
entertaining some of New York’s top philanthropists.
