Thomas Phifer's Modern Steel and Glass 8,800 Sq. Foot Taghkanic House Is Still On The Market.



Looking for a unique modern house about 2 hours outside of New York? This beautiful, exceptionally designed 8,800 square foot home was designed by architect Thomas Phifer, a previous design partner of Richard Meier's, and is available with or without a renovated farmhouse and 150 additional acres.

16w21 Apartments By Zac Posen Get Dolled Up In Their New Ad Campaign.




To promote designer Zac Posen's new residential loft apartments, 16 west 21st street in New York (referred to as 16w21), Imagination NYC created an ad campaign using 12" articulated dolls as the main characters to represent the hip, urban, sophisticated "Model Life."





The five "Model Apartment" videos (all shown later in this post) air in New York taxicabs (but only within a 10 bock radius of the building) and online. The integrated campaign also features print, outdoor and digital ads, also shown in this post.

A smart move given that the apartments are not yet completed (i.e. no sets yet) and that dolls are far less expensive to shoot than models (no residuals!). In addition to the creative cost-cutting techniques, by using Ken and Barbie-like dolls in stop motion animation for the Anthem video and the four other Model Room videos, they attract an edgier, more youthful audience.

The Architect

16W21'S principal architect, Morris Adjmi, is globally renown for realizing visions that both "fit in and stand out" with their respective context. In the instance of his most recent project, Adjmi drew inspiration from the neoclassical limestone and white-washed brick buildings of New York's Ladies Mile Historic District. And then he reimagined the neighborhood's vernacular. By combining contemporary vision, cutting-edge building technologies, and a custom glass facade, cut in Spain by Cricursa, he has produced a residence that is, like ice, whiter than white, reflecting the history of a city and establishing a modern landmark that frames the warmth of the light and vibrancy of the life within. The 14 stories will be divided into 9 units; 1 garden "townhouse," 5 full-floors, 2 duplexes and a triplex penthouse with prices starting in the mid $2 million dollars. below are artist renderings of the Penthouse and Townhouse floor plans (please click to enlarge and see a clearer image):

A special topping out ceremony/spiritual offering was hosted by the building owner. When complete, this unique building will boast a facade constructed entirely out of glass (columns, spandrels, cornice, etc.) that will mimic the historic details of the district.

If You've Got The Money, They've Got The Time. And Location. DUMBO, Brooklyn ClockTower Is For Sale.






UPDATE: Since this post, the price continues to drop on this property. Now available for $18,000,000.

One of the world's most spectacular triplex residences, the ClockTower, with views to die for and a price tag of $25 million, has just gone on the market. Perched atop One Main Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn, the light, airy and open modern space is punctuated by four enormous functioning clocks that double as windows.




Originally built in 1914, the iconic ClockTower space, already famous for its four gigantic clocks, has been transformed into a 7,000 square foot penthouse with fabulous living and entertaining quarters, state-of-the-art technology and arguably NYC's most extraordinary views.




The ClockTower residence was designed and renovated by David Walentas, the developer and principal of Two Trees. Walentas, who had the vision to shape DUMBO into the sought-after neighborhood it is today, spent years crafting the ClockTower into a discerning, unique property. "We meticulously re-created the original space into a home that offers arguably one of the world's greatest views," said Walentas. "The ClockTower itself rises close to the East River and offers sweeping vistas of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge and the entire New York City Skyline."




Atrium is open through the three floors:


The elevator to the ClockTower has a private key access and opens onto a contemporary atrium. The ClockTower boasts strikingly modern design, superb entertainment spaces, and comfortable living quarters, with panoramic views throughout the residence. "It supersedes real estate; it's a work of art that cannot be duplicated," said Asher Abehsera, Vice President for Two Trees residential properties.

Panoramic Views:



Spacious walk-in closets, solid rift-sawn white oak floors, an Italian custom-made kitchen featuring white lacquer cabinets, stainless steel, Pietra Cardosa countertops and Gaggeneau appliances are all part of the residence's luxurious and functional appeal.

Kitchen:




Above all, it is the allure of the four clockface windows, the overwhelming natural light, and unrivaled views that distinguishes this spectacular space from all others. Even the gorgeous pedestal bathtub in the master bathroom looks out onto sweeping vistas of lower Manhattan:
