Skyhouse by architect David Hotson  in collaboration with interior design studio Ghislaine Viñas clarifies volumes with amusing elements cascading through the 21st through 24th floors of one of New York City’s first steel beamed skyscrapers. This penthouse blends space with playful measures. Everything revolves around the all surpassing views of Manhattan, framed out by the old arched windows. The design fools even the most clever critic, baffling all things conventional the conclusions unfold into hallways, lounging pockets, and whimsical escape routes by means of a tremendous slide or a rock climbing wall stretching to the home’s furthest peek. Around every corner architectural sculpture passes into another haven of living space using unprecedented craftsmanship in various surfaces of glass, wood, steel, metals, and fabrics.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
