For his latest residential project, renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern has pared down his usually grand scale for an intimate collection of just 15 full-floor Upper East Side homes. Robert A.M. Stern Architects partnered with interior designer Kelly Behun on 1228 Madison Avenue, a 20-story limestone and brick tower overlooking Central Park and featuring 14 two- to four-bedroom homes as well as a crowning duplex penthouse, all with sweeping views of the park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Stern’s love of scale has found an outlet here, though, with interior ceilings reaching heights of 18 feet and large windows flooding the residences with natural light.
