| dc.description | Canopy over entrance, echoing shutters; In the High Line area in lower Chelsea (south side of West 19th Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues). The condominium building has 9 units (8 duplex "houses") and is an 11-story structure, including a ground floor art gallery (retail space). The building incorporates a layered façade with a unique shutter system. The shutters are motorized screens which hang on the outside of the balcony spaces and can be open or shut for privacy. Although they are of lighter and semi-transparent material (perforated metal) they evoke similar motorized industrial steel doors.
