Oh, how I’d love to live in Kips Bay off 2nd Avenue… too bad rent is $5,000 for a studio.

You could find something for 3k but not much less than that.

Hmm. I like where I live now - Bushwick - previously Harlem. Affordable here. The younger crowd keeps me young lol. I feel like Kips Bay is not my scene - although the EV and LES is definitely my scene lol

“Complete” and beautiful.

Smart architectural design: attractive, yet understated.

The interiors were well done too. Large ‘punched’ windows without any dividing mullions to obscure the view-thru is a fantastic feature.

This type of ‘punched window’ is the best way for getting the ‘large windows’ for light/views: much better than the floor-to-ceiling glass IMHO.

Those ceiling recess pockets for the shades was also a smart detail for the interiors.

Good to see ‘beautiful’ modern architecture: the curves, the brick, the set-backs all make for a fine finish.
