Dramatic live-work condo with DM @$655/per sq.ft., ideal for artists, and art collectors, photographers, architects, therapists and small businesses. Combining European flare with an Asian sensibility, this exceptional loft condominium was designed by noted architect, Steve E. Blatz, and featured in Interior Design, among other publications. A true live-work loft, located in view of the Empire State Building, its beautifully proportioned and harmoniously integrated open plan offers 4,444 square feet of inter-connecting spaces (4200 net), which balance versatile living and entertaining areas with functional work spaces and intimate private rooms. Long vistas are defined by an ensemble of simple planar walls that provide an exceptional backdrop for showcasing art. Free-standing panels ingeniously constructed of bands of farmed ash wood add warmth and texture and floating screens of fiberglass and aluminum expand to close off areas. The overall effect is sculptural coherence with a powerful architectonic quality. Special features include dramatic 12.2 ceiling heights; 50-foot window walls at front and back with a bay window of grand scale in the living room; a 6 x 37-foot set-back terrace with Japanese-style landscaping; a large glass enclosed steam room with shower, real laundry room and phenomenal storage spaces; wonderful diverse lighting effects throughout; and a continuity of stunning materials from ash wood to limestone and glass mosaic to hand-painted tiles. The building is pet friendly. Also for rent at $13,000/month.
