Ang natatanging arkitektura ay kaakibat ng full-service na pamumuhay sa tanyag na Rockefeller Apartments, isang kinikilalang enclave na nasa International Style, na ipinagawa ng pamilyang Rockefeller at dinisenyo nina Harrison & Fouilhoux noong dekada 1930. Binubuo ng 17 West 54th Street at 24 West 55th Street, ang dalawang-gusaling kooperatiba ay nakapalibot sa isang maayos na hardin, na nag-aalok ng tahimik na pahingahan sa gitna ng Manhattan.

Magandang inayos ng kinikilalang arkitektong Australyano na si Iain Halliday, ang Residence 8B ay isang sopistikadong tahanang may dalawang silid-tulugan at dalawang banyo, na may tanawin sa timog at hilaga, sentral na air conditioning, at maingat na isinamang mga espasyo para sa imbakan. Ang pinag-isipang disenyo nito ay umaayon sa modernistang pamana ng gusali habang nagbibigay ng eleganteng kapaligiran para sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay at pagtanggap ng mga bisita.

Ang malawak na sala at dining area na nakaharap sa timog ay tanaw ang sculpture garden ng Museum of Modern Art, kaya’t naihahatid sa tahanan ang pambihirang tanawing pangkultura. Ang mga sliding glass door ng Boffi ay nagdaragdag ng natatanging elementong arkitektural at bumubukas upang ihayag ang makinis at modernong kusinang may nakalaang coffee station at mga kagamitang mula sa Miele, Sub-Zero, at Fisher & Paykel. Nagbibigay-daan ang flexible na disenyo upang walang putol na maiugnay ang kusina sa espasyo para sa pagtanggap ng mga bisita, o maisara kung ninanais.

Parehong tinatamasa ng dalawang silid-tulugan ang payapang tanawin sa hilaga, na nakaharap sa hardin ng gusali. Pinagdurugtong ng malalaking pocket door ang mga silid, kaya maaari silang gamitin bilang magkahiwalay na silid-tulugan o pagsamahin bilang isang maluwag na suite. Dalawang ganap na inayos na banyo at maluluwang na aparador ang kumukumpleto sa napakagandang tirahang ito na handa nang tirhan.

Pinagsasama ng Rockefeller Apartments ang maringal nitong kasaysayan sa arkitektura at maasikasong serbisyo, kabilang ang 24-oras na doorman at residenteng superintendent. Tinatamasa ng mga residente ang maayos na hardin sa gitnang courtyard at imbakan sa basement, depende sa availability at sa listahan ng naghihintay. Tumatanggap ang pet-friendly na kooperatiba ng pagmamay-ari ng pied-à-terre, nagpapahintulot ng hanggang 75% financing, at pinahihintulutan ang subletting alinsunod sa mga patakaran ng gusali. Pinahihintulutan din ang pag-install ng washer/dryer kapag may pahintulot. Ilang sandali lamang mula sa MoMA, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, at Central Park, nag-aalok ang natatanging address na ito ng maginhawang access sa mga kilalang museo, pamimili, kainan, at transportasyon.
