The Madison Square Park Tower is KPF's most audacious residential design in New York: a cantilevered glass tower that grows wider as it rises from a 75-foot granite base to a 125-foot crown. KPF engineered chamfered corners specifically to maximize views from column-free interiors, creating a building that is wider at the top than the bottom — defying structural intuition.
Martin Brudnizki's interiors take their cues from the Flatiron Building itself: classically soft, symmetrical, and rounded, with an emphasis on bespoke detail. The kitchen is the building's most distinctive interior moment: Molteni cabinetry with a Mercury Black marble countertop beneath a glass ceiling-hung 'gantry' over the island end of the wall divider. Three finish palettes (Claryville, St. James, Waldorf) give buyers selection within a controlled design system.
The four-inch-thick apartment front doors with closely fluted treatment echo the tower's exterior fluting. The Upper Club on the 54th floor — with its panoramic entertainment suite and demonstration kitchen — creates a residents-only social infrastructure at height.
- Three-palette system (Claryville, St. James, Waldorf) means renovation direction is partially defined by which palette the unit carries
- Molteni kitchen with Mercury Black marble and glass gantry is architecturally distinctive — renovation must address this building-specific element
- White Mountain Danby marble (Vermont white) in baths — renovation can extend this material or pivot to warmer stones
- Waterworks fixtures are premium but standard — renovation opportunity is in upgrading specification or changing finish
- Cantilevered tower grows wider as it rises — upper floor units have more volume and different orientation than lower floors
- Flatiron/Gramercy/Chelsea confluence means clients have strong neighborhood identity — design should honor this urbanist context
