NEW YORK | The Cortland (555 W 22nd St) | 250 FT | 26 FLOORS

Those large single pane windows are perfect for that waterfront view. Classical architecture is always beautiful; but must be watered down a bit sometimes to get important features like ‘mullion-less’ windows.

I think some historical districts mandate the multi-pane windows with the grid of mullions around each small pane of glass; it is an ‘authentic’ traditional look - but results in a significant loss in views out the windows.

This building delivers the best of both worlds.

It looks like the windows are dark on the outside but white on the inside which is ideal. Do you know what they are made of?

Yes, those dark mullions would look awful on the inside. Those frames are all made of extruded aluminum, with a power coat (baked on) paint finish. That white color helps keep the interior looking light and airy… :star_struck:

Here is an example - not necessarily the same brand, but same ‘type’…

Thanks infoshare.

Except the white frames look tacky at night. Very Florida. It’s a tradeoff.

I don’t think I would want dark window frames on the inside unless I was doing a room with dark paneling. My library has deep wine painted walls with medium stained cherry book cases and yet the white windows look fine. Of course I live in Southern California so kind of Florida. lol

I went with the dark and stripped as much of the metal as I could. My building was not offering an unpainted option.

I’d live here in a heartbeat. West Chelsea is my favorite neighborhood in the city.

This one is almost done. The construction scaffolding and sidewalk barriers have been removed. I particularly like the look of the entrance door detail, along with the bay windows above; the stone, the steel with rivets, the intricate decorative stone & metalwork surrounding the door - all artfully designed.
