Sharing a Penthouse with a Sibling.... (D Magazine)

DMagazine had an interesting article of two siblings sharing a penthouse space. Well, it's a 12,000 sq. ft space, so not really all that bad huh?? Well, you see... both Kari & brother Kirby Schlegel wanted the corner penthouse unit at the 'W', so their father stepped in & decided instead of buying them 2 INDIVIDUAL units, he figured why not create 2 separate apartments from it !?!

They searched out architects and designers Lionel Morrison & Jan Showers to handle the project. LUCKY kids aren't they? I do hope they're grateful. Kari was looking more for a Domino flair in her space while her brother Kirby wanted a darker, more masculine look to his apartment. Another cool feature is a common area they have for entertaining...Nice!  

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

That is an amazing apartment! But imagine being supported by parents in such a way that you could have such a brilliant home. I have to admit I am a little jealous, but mostly by her vast collect of shoes! :) Hazel

I'm loving that the heavy hand of white makes all the other colors jump to extra bright.

Knowing that your brother is next door when you need him, must help her sleep at night.

Monica @ Beauty Parler said...

My chin dropped when I saw the shoes! I'll sleep in the shoe closet alone:) Really fresh & open feel of the apartment. Great work, hope the siblings get along.

Marcus Design said...

I love this place. Especially the shoe closet :-)

Dagny @ Scandinavian Chic said...

I have to admit that the girly apartment is my fave, however I love the chandelier in Kirby's "section"!

Both apartments definitely has a nod towards H.Regency, and I'm still SO SO week for that style.

Btw - I'm relaunching Scandinavian Chic tomorrow, with a LOT of changes. You should definitely check it out, would love to get your feedback on the makeover :)

Have a fabulous weekend!!

xoxo,

Hi Jen, I wanted to send you a few photos of your 'Love' print in my nursery, and could only find the email address support @ madebygirl.com, which unfortunately didn't work for me. Is there another email address I can use? Thanks!

I mean that might be one of the strangest concepts I have ever heard. But I love the idea of siblings being close enough to share a space as adults, even if it is ginormous. It looks great though!
