Isang sopistikadong balanse ng industriyal na chic at kulay ang kumakatawan sa makapangyarihang natatanging tahanang ito, na buhay na buhay sa tulong ng TOLA Architects at Blankenship Design.

"Ang pagmamahal ng aming mga kliyente para sa industriyal na estetik na pinagaan ng kulay at tekstura, at ang kanilang pagnanasa para sa talagang pamilyang nakasentro na karanasan ang gumabay sa maraming desisyon ng aming koponan para sa maluwang na loft na ito. Bawat aspeto ng nakalantad na ductwork, copper piping, at electrical conduit ay dinisenyo upang makita at higit pa, ang makabagong pagkakaroon ng sound attenuation, central cooling, at humidification ay nagbibigay ng kaginhawaan at tahimik na pahingahan mula sa masiglang kapitbahayan sa ibaba."

Saklaw ang buong kanlurang bahagi ng ikapitong palapag, ang kamangha-manghang floor-through na 7AB ay may mga tanawin mula sa timog, kanluran, at hilaga, na hindi kapani-paniwalang pinaganda ng labintatlong bagong, oversized, triple-pane acoustic, tilt-and-turn windows na ginawa ng Skyline. Kasama ang bukas na kalangitan ay mga tanawin ng Freedom Tower at Hudson Yards.

Ang puso ng aparmento ay ang maginhawang kahoy at bakal na Cube mula sa kung saan ang enerhiya ay kumakalat papalabas sa lahat ng bahagi ng 4,042 square foot na likhang ito na puno ng liwanag. Pantay na kahanga-hanga ang monumental na Shou Sugi Ban wood wall, na umaabot halos sa buong haba ng aparmento. Ang sinaunang Japanese na paggamot ng kahoy na ito ay ginamit sa buong aparmento, na parang isang maganda at maayos na sistema ng sirkulasyon. Maganda ang kalikasan na dinala.

Ang mga sahig ay puno ng pagmamahal sa ilalim ng paa - isang kahanga-hangang patchwork ng vintage at na-reclaimed na mga kahoy na may malambot na cork sa silid-paglalaruan at kusina.

Ang mga napakataas na 11 talampakan na barrel vault ceilings ay nagbigay-diin sa skeletal structure ng Cube na naglalaman ng kusina at pantry at ang panlabas nito ay gawa sa isang yoga wall, mga aparador, isang pasadyang niche writing desk, na lahat ay tinakpan ng isang 9' x 10' na playpen!

Ang disenyo ng bukas na kusina ay nagiging functional sa custom copper countertops ng Brooks, isang malaking copper sink at isang masiglang penny tile at copper backsplash. Kasama sa mga tampok ang LaCanache, 5-burner na may 2 oven, Wolf steam/convection, Sub-Zero at Liebherr.

Apat sa mga silid-tulugan ay may northern light at ang pangunahing silid-tulugan ay may kasamang walk-in closet, study at ang elegante nitong ensuite bath ay may heated floors at steam shower. Ang maluwang na pangalawang silid-tulugan ay may dalawang exposure at ang mas malaking silid na nakaharap sa timog ay madaling ma-convert sa ikaanim na silid-tulugan.

Karamihan sa mga custom millwork ay gawa ng Four Daughters kasama ang mga custom closets, at ang mga glass blown door handles ay mula sa isang lokal na artisan. Puno ng mga detalye at ekspertong pagtatapos.

Sagana sa imbakan kasama ang custom shelving para sa mga libro at komportable mga sulok para sa pagbabasa. Isang malaking Mudroom ang nasa pribadong landing at isang 10' x 10' storage closet ay angkop na matatagpuan sa loob ng aparmento. Ang tunay na laundry room ay pumapayag para sa madaling pamamalantsa at pagt折.

Bawat pangangailangan ay nasusunod sa mahusay na itinalagang, pambihirang disenyo na nagpapataas ng daloy at liwanag ngunit nagbibigay-daan para sa privacy sa bawat pagliko. Tunay na isang likhang sining sa kanyang sarili, isang patunay sa kritikal at curate na mata ng mga may-ari. Isang dapat makita. Isang dapat maranasan. Isang dapat magkaroon.

Itinayo noong 1908 at naging condominium noong 1998, ang kagalang-galang, tahimik na Steiner Building ay nag-aalok ng part-time doorman, super, porters, imbakan, bicycle room at dalawang rooftop terraces. Boutique sa kalikasan na may 32 yunit lamang at hiwalay na may susi na elevator banks, ang address na ito ay nag-aalok ng isang napaka-pribadong at bihirang lugar sa gitna ng masiglang Chelsea.

A sophisticated balance of industrial chic and colors encapsulate this powerfully unique residence, brought to life by TOLA Architects and Blankenship Design.

"Our clients' love for an industrial esthetic tempered by color and texture, and their desire for a truly family-centric experience guided many of our team decisions for this spacious loft. Every aspect of the exposed ductwork, copper piping, and electrical conduit was designed to be seen and beyond view, state of the art sound attenuation, central cooling, and humidification provide comfort and quiet retreat from the vibrant neighborhood below."

Encompassing the whole west side of the seventh floor, the spectacular floor-through 7AB has southern, western and northern views, gloriously enhanced by seventeen new, oversized, triple-pane acoustic, tilt-and-turn windows custom made by Skyline. Complete with the open sky are views of the Freedom Tower and Hudson Yards.

The heart of the apartment is the airy wooden and steel Cube from which energy radiates outward to all parts of this 4,042 square foot, bathed-in-light creation. Equally impressive is the monumental Shou Sugi Ban wood wall, which runs almost the entire length of the apartment. This ancient Japanese treatment of wood is used throughout the apartment, akin to a handsome circulatory system. Beautiful nature brought in.

The floors are love underfoot - a wondrous patchwork of vintage and reclaimed woods with soft cork in the playroom and kitchen.

Soaring 11' foot high barrel vault ceilings accentuate the skeletal structure of the Cube which houses the kitchen and pantry and whose exterior is made up of a yoga wall, closets, a bespoke niche writing desk, all topped off by a 9' x 10' playpen!

The open kitchen design becomes functional with custom copper countertops by Brooks, a large copper sink and a playful penny tile and copper backsplash. Highlights include the LaCanache, 5-burner with 2 ovens, Wolf steam/convection, Sub-Zero and Liebherr.

Four of the bedrooms have northern light and the primary comes with a walk-in closet, study and its elegant ensuite bath has heated floors and a steam shower. The spacious second bedroom has two exposures and the roomy south-facing study/office can easily convert to a sixth bedroom. 

Most of the custom millwork is by Four Daughters including the custom closets, and the glass blown door handles are from a local artisan. Details and expert finishing abound.

Storage galore with custom shelving for books and comfortable nooks for reading. A large Mudroom is on the private landing and a 10' x 10' storage closet is ideally located inside of the apartment. True laundry room allows for ironing and folding with ease.

Every need is filled with this well-appointed, extraordinary design maximizing flow and light but allowing for privacy at every turn. Truly a work of art in itself, a testament to the owners' critical, curated eye. A must see. A must experience. A must have.

Built in 1908 and converted to condominium in 1998, the well-respected, low-key Steiner Building offers a part-time doorman, super, porters, storage, bicycle room and two rooftop terraces. Boutique by nature with only 32 units and separate keyed elevator banks, this address offers a very private, rarefied place in the midst of busy Chelsea.
