Founder, Charles & Co

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.

Impeccable detailing
Custom-designed kitchens by Charles & Co feature curved, reeded walnut islands, white lacquer cabinetry, and quartzite slab countertops and backsplashes.



Primary bathrooms feature custom walnut vanities with Calacatta Golden Lincoln slab marble countertops, Verde Laguna marble wainscoting, herringbone Calacatta Golden Lincoln marble flooring, and polished nickel fixtures by Waterworks.
