The Metal Shutter
House is a Residential Condominium with a Gallery Retail space on the ground
floor. The building is located in the newly re-zoned West
Chelsea district of Manhattan just west of the High Line. The Metal Shutter House, in close proximity to other high-rise buildings, is designed to take advantage
of both light and surrounding views. In order to create well-lit rooms, each residential unit is a duplex with
a double height living room that allows natural light
to fill the apartment.Large floor-to-ceiling bi-folding glass doors
on the living room façade of each unit completely open the interior space to
the exterior. The North
façade features screens made of roll-up perforated security shutters,
allowing for privacy while in the apartment or on the terrace and creates
a distinctly unique
openness to the city beyond.
