A six-story residential condominium building is planned for 150 West 15th Street between the Avenue of the Americas and Seventh Avenue in Chelsea that will be distinguished by alternately angled protruding bay windows.
The architectural firm for the project is FLAnk Architects, of which Michael Walsdorf and Jon Kully are principals.
The developer is Daren Herzberg.
The project will have 5 apartments.
The front of the building is set back a few feet from the building line and FLAnk Architects have designed by large bay windows that will project out to the building line for views in both directions. The alternately angled bay windows are a bit remiscent of the zig-zagging frontage with floor-to-ceiling windows of 109 Norfolk Street, now nearing completion and designed by nArchitects.
The front facade of this project will also be distinguished by a seamless, vertical glass pilaster that, according to architect Jon Kully, "just hover on transluscency" behind which will be the apartments' shower stalls with benches.
The penthouse apartment will have a rooftop pool.
Demolition is about to start on the project and occupancy is scheduled for early 2008.
Other projects by FLAnk include the Novare at 135 West 4th Street and a new 15-story building at 441 East 57th Street, and a hotel/condo at 250 Bowery.
