Metal Shutter Houses at 524 West 19th St. #5

Known for his poetic architectural style, Shigeru Ban has tailored what could be characterized as contextual invention to this unique 11 story structure. Each of the floor through duplexes, ranging in size from 1,950 to over 3,300 square feet, offer a double height loggia with electronically controlled Shigeru Ban designed perforated metal shutters. The 20 upwardly pivoting glass walls open the double height living space completely, thus blurring the boundary between the inside and outside. Low-profile warehouse buildings throughout the neighborhood allow for long city views, including the Empire State building, from each floor of the three and four bedroom homes. Amenities include a 24 hour doorman with concierge services. Apartment Features: North exposure, South exposure, West exposure, Balcony, Terrace Building Features:
