From Luxury Homes & Lifestyle
In the tree-lined enclave of Prospect Park South, 194 Rugby Road stands as one of Brooklyn’s grand historic homes.

Pinnacle Condominium: light and design in an exclusive residential project in Queens
Natural light and the uniformity of white are the backbone of this residential project in New York.
In the heart of the borough of Queens, just 20 minutes from Manhattan and JFK airport, stands an exclusive 27-storey residential building with over 200 luxury flats. The building’s privileged location offers spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline and exceptional natural light.

This model has been used on floors and walls, providing a homogeneous surface, which also evokes purity and calm.
Real estate icon Barbara Corcoran lists Upper East Side penthouse for $12M
Barbara Corcoran is parting ways with her penthouse overlooking Central Park
Real estate whiz and investor Barbara Corcoran is parting ways with her penthouse overlooking Central Park on the Upper East Side. Corcoran, founder of The Corcoran Group and star of “Shark Tank,” paid $10 million in 2015 for the 11-room duplex co-op at 1158 Fifth Avenue. The home, which has a glass solarium dining room, custom-designed library, and landscaped terrace, is now on the market for $12,000,000.
Barbara Corcoran’s $12 Million Manhattan Penthouse Sells in One Day
She dreamed of owning the home since she first saw it in 1992.
Just one day after hitting the market, Barbara Corcoran’s $12 million Manhattan penthouse has sold.
The 4,600-square-foot dwelling was listed by Scott Stewart, Carrie Chiang, and Andres Perea-Garzon of The Corcoran Group.
The Shark Tank star first fell in love with this residence in 1992, when she was working as a messenger and making a delivery. She immediately envisioned herself living here, and she left her name with the owner, in hopes that they would reach out when the time came to sell the property.
Twenty-three years later, in 2015, Corcoran and her husband, Bill Higgins, received that long-awaited call and subsequently purchased the dream home, which boasts sweeping views of Central Park.
The 11-room penthouse was staged by Vesta Home, a design, staging, and furniture studio. Vesta Home’s Creative Director Christina Slater and designer Amber Cicardo revamped the home’s interiors.
“Art is so subjective, so when it comes to staging, we really look for those pieces that are neutral enough to appeal to a universal buyer but also elevated enough to look like they belong,” Slater tells Galerie.
