Vibrant facade for West Chelsea
Chelsea Modern, designed throughout by Audrey Matlock Architects, is a 85,000 sq ft 47-unit apartment building sitting within the Chelsea contemporary art district, on 447- 453 West 18th street near the High Line and with views to the Hudson River.
Because of its mid-block location, the building’s identity is a single 12 storey façade divided horizontally into sections of blue tinted and clear glass that shift in and out across its surface. >>>
The Rietveld Schroder House is considered 'an important and unique icon of western architectural history' by UNESCO, which placed the house on the world heritage list at the end of the year 2000.
