50 Central Park W APT 1B, New York, NY 10023

One-of-a-kind on CPW. Home and studio to famed fashion and commercial photographer Hiro for 45 years, where he created images for Harper’s Bazaar, Halston, and Elsa Peretti/Tiffany, among many others. Featuring 15 ft. ceilings and seven large arched windows, the space was artfully designed by architects Paul Segal & Associates in 1976 with sweeping curves and grand proportions that guide you through to both open areas and hidden sanctuaries. From the private entrance with an ornate round window over the door you enter a reception area with curved walls that guide you past a workstation framed by one of the arched windows facing Central Park, and into the kitchen which boasts north and east views of the park and provides a prime view of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Stairs ascend to a second level where you will find the private bedroom with ensuite bath and bank of mirrored closets. Configured to function as a working photography studio, the space includes a private office with a curved interior window looking out to the large shooting area that is bathed by north light from 4 of the arched windows with views of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, a dark room, film developing room, makeup area, and a private rear entrance. Bring your imagination and architect to create your own one-of-a-kind live/work space.
