MIDTOWN — A condo on the 52nd floor of a Fifth Avenue high-rise just got a high-style makeover, courtesy of New York interior designer Nicole Fuller.
The 1,400-square-foot, two-bedroom unit inside The Residences at 400 Fifth Avenue already had floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping views of Manhattan, so Fuller focused on adding decorative elements that “make you feel as if you are floating in a palace above the city,” the designer said in a statement.
That included artwork from pop artist Peter Tunney and luxury furnishings purchased from the likes of Holly Hunt and The Rug Company — the kinds of places that sell mostly to interior design pros and don’t list their prices.
“I was inspired to create an atmosphere that captivates and embraces you with warmth and tranquility,” added Fuller, whose interior design company specializes in high-end residential and commercial projects.
“I also felt it was important to pay tribute to the Fifth Avenue location, which sustains a certain element of style that is rooted in generations of family heirlooms, art and luxury interiors.”
The designer-decorated unit is part of a 60-story tower on Fifth Avenue between 36th and 37th streets that includes other residences, as well as The Setai Fifth Avenue hotel and Ai Fiori, the much-lauded Italian restaurant from chef and restaurateur Michael White.
The building is also home to a few other unique model homes. Last year, three units on the 58th floor got movie-themed makeovers, with designers drawing inspiration from the films “Something’s Gotta Give,” “Six Degrees of Separation” and “Wall Street” — all of which are set in New York.
The asking price for the new model home from Nicole Fuller was not immediately available, but another unit designed by Fuller on the building’s 48th floor is listed at $2.8 million.
