A Walk In The Park

Bottega Veneta’s latest Maison in New York is discreet luxury at its finest.

- Gerald Tan

The modest exterior of the three townhouses that sit on the intersection of New York’s East 64 th Street and Madison Avenue belies the treasure hidden behind its red brick walls. It is only after stepping inside, away from the crush of New York’s traffic, does the building’s rich wonders reveal and unfold before the eyes. A stone’s throw from Central Park and designed by John G. Prague in the latter half of the 19 th century as private residences, the 15,000sqft space now houses Bottega Veneta’s largest store in the world.
