In New York, interesting design has a tendency to hideaway along seemingly ordinary and unassuming blocks. At 164 South 1st Street in Williamsburg, a notable 4-story 8-unit condominium was recently finished donning an interlocking industrial-esque exterior or dark masonry, wood paneling and factory-style windows. Crafted by up-and-comer Nataliya Donskoy and her firm ND Architecture & Design, the modest in scale building packs a good bit of design punch with its textured brick skin, good proportions and oversized multi-pane windows.
The developer of the building Idan Shitrit of Ivestmates Real Estate & Development. As proof that good design pays off, all but one of the building's eight units have already been purchased or put in contract. The sole unit remaining is Penthouse A spanning nearly 900 square feet not including a 15'-9" x 12'-0" outdoor terrace. The two-bedroom, two-bath spread has an ask of $1.195 million and features hardwood floors, Italian cabinetry, Bosch stainless steel appliances, in unit washer and dryer and views overlooking the neighborhood. On the lower level, are the living spaces and the master bedroom which features a dramatic double height wall of windows. The upper level hosts the rooftop terrace and another bedroom with an ensuite bath.
The homes all feature high-ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that recall Williamsburg’s vintage warehouses and illuminate the spaces. Marble baths come equipped with rainforest showers, deep soaking tubs and stainless steel finishes that provide a perfectly peaceful place to unwind and refresh.
