Interiors

Charles & Co designed the interiors of 520 Fifth Avenue as a contemporary take on classic New York style. The firm’s first condominium project in the city features intimate spaces with a feeling of sophisticated coziness for which the AD100 firm is known. Drawing upon its experience designing private clubs, restaurants, hotels, and residences for the world’s most discerning tastemakers, Charles & Co selected the finest materials and textures—European-inspired mosaics, handsome millwork, richly veined stone, and patterned textiles and wallcoverings–to create timeless rooms that are warm and elegant, memorable and evocative. 
Every room should
be a room for living.

Designed around hospitality

After a nearly 20-year career at Soho House, where she pioneered the distinctive “home from home” aesthetic, British-born designer Vicky Charles founded Charles & Co in 2016. The firm has imparted its signature imprint of comfortable, low-key luxury and impeccable detailing on a highly curated portfolio of commercial, hospitality, and residential commissions. “My job is to create spaces that people want to come back to all the time,” says Charles of her warm, inviting sensibility. Among the firm’s well-known clients are Hollywood A-listers, notable musicians, and royals.

Timeless, Sophisticated
Residences Soaring
Above Fifth Avenue

Offering sweeping views from river to river, up to Central Park, and downtown over Bryant Park toward the Empire State Building and beyond, the residences at 520 Fifth Avenue begin at 400 feet and soar to nearly 900 feet in elevation. Considered layouts are set against a backdrop of breathtaking vistas framed through arched apertures. Many residences feature triple-exposure living and dining rooms, ceilings up to 14 feet high, and corner private terraces. Timeless finishes, hand-selected by Charles & Co, include wide-plank white oak floors, custom-designed kitchens, and a rich palette of natural stones and woods throughout.
