Carter's Review
A four-story building on this site was expanded in 2006 to 10 stories to create a 9-unit a residential condominium project that is distinguished by brise soleils and different fenestration patterns.
The mid-block development is known as The Prime and its address is 333 West 14th Street. It has a location that is convenient to the
Gansevoort Meat Packing District, Chelsea and the West Village.
Jim Riggs of 333 West 14th Street Partnership is the developer. He is president and founder of Shea Commerical.
Bice C. Wilson and Francois de Marignac of Meridian Design Associates Architects are the architects.
Mr. Wilson told CityRealty.com that the brise soleils above its broad windows that will serve to both reflect light into the apartments and to add shading for energy conservation. Brise soleils have been widely employed in Europe and South America but are relatively rare in Manhattan.
The building has a fence areaway in front of it at one end of which is a concrete pylon with an intercom that leads to a covered bridge entrance to the building.
The building s façade is framed in limestone with glass and broad painted metal spandrels.
The full-floor apartments have kitchens with Sub-Zero, Bosch and Viking stainless-steel appliances and Varenna cabinetry. Master bathrooms are clad in marble from Boffi and Duravit designed by Starck and have double-sink vanities and Miele washers and dryers.
The penthouse has two fireplaces, a Jacuzzi in the master bathroom, two walkout balconies and a terrace with a southern exposure.
There is good public transportation and many nearby restaurants.
