The building contains 89 units, from studios to four-bedroom apartments. Prices range from $985,000 to $5.9 million (£773,875 to £4.6 million), according to Real Estate Weekly.

Alex P White是一名室内设计师，在纽约经营着一家同名工作室。对于这套总共686平方英尺(64平方米)的单卧室公寓来说，他运用了中性色调的饰面装饰，创造了平静和优雅的氛围。

Alex P White, an interior designer who runs an eponymous New York studio, was tasked with creating a model unit that would appeal to potential buyers. For a one-bedroom apartment totalling 686 square feet (64 square metres), White used finishes and decor in neutral tones to create a calm and elegant atmosphere.

一进门，就是开放式厨房和客厅。一扇玻璃门通向一个宽敞的露台，露台上有镀金的青铜砖、碳化木花盆和混凝土家具。在公寓内，混凝土天花板未完成，为空间增添了原始美感。除此之外还有模仿混凝土的灰泥墙与浅灰色饰面。设计师决定把天花板上的饰面拆掉，把所有的房间都包裹在同样的纹理结构中。这让空间感到舒适。

Upon entering, one steps into an open-plan kitchen and living room. A glass door leads to a generous terrace featuring gilded bronze bricks, charred-wood planter boxes and concrete dining furniture.Inside the apartment, concrete ceilings were left unfinished, lending a raw aesthetic to the space. Adding to the effect are plaster walls with a light grey finish that mimics concrete.White decided to bring the ceiling finish down the walls, wrapping all the rooms in the same textural drama,This makes the spaces feel cosy .

设计师还决定在项目中采用一种“无家具”的方法——选择定制的内置组件，为空间提供大部分功能而不会产生视觉混乱。

White decided on an ‘unfurnished’ approach for the project – opting instead for custom built-ins, while providing most of the function for the space without the visual clutter.

在卧室里，设计师设计了一个平台床，床头板一直升到天花板。布鲁克林设计师Stephen Bukowski设计的细长黑色柜与主导空间的浅色调形成对比。

整个公寓的天花板都采用了LED灯条。其他照明设备包括理查德·萨珀(Richard Sapper)设计的床头灯和蒂姆·伦德尔(Tim Rundle)设计的Bloom台灯。
