Located in a Chelsea brownstone landmark townhouse, these splendid residential spaces fluctuate between outside and inside. Renovated for a a fashion designer in search of a balanced composition of textures, colors and light, this 3,400 square foot residence in Chelsea, New York, was designed by Archi-Tectonics. The low garden level, adorned with cascading greenery, woodwork and brickwork, leads into the nanny/guest apartment, and the library / office space.
On a higher level, the stylish long and narrow living room boasts a modern fireplace. A light corridor goes from the two tall windows in the living zone to the dark-framed glass wall in the dining area. Here, the grey-toned kitchen is flooded with light, becoming part of the level’s circulation. Accessed via a wooden staircase with glass railings, the next level shelters the cozy master bedroom featuring a coin armchair, one of Johnny Swing‘s creations.
This resting space leads out to a terrace through a set of pivoting doors. Here, glimpses of the green courtyard below greet owners every morning, just before coffee. The second bathroom shares a large bathroom with the master bedroom and a TV lounge occupies the same floor.

HONG KONG - Britain’s White Cube gallery, known as an early champion of provocative British artists Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, launched its Hong Kong branch on Thursday, becoming the latest Western gallery to open an Asian outpost in pursuit of China’s booming art market. White Cube unveiled a 6,000-square-foot (557-square-meter) space in a new building in Hong Kong’s central business district. With its first branch outside Britain, White Cube follows other British as well as French and American galleries that have set up shop in Hong Kong in recent years. As their home markets plateau, they’re pinning hopes for future growth on Asia, particularly China, where a strong economy has been minting millionaires at a rapid clip. The arrival of White Cube in Hong Kong underlines the sophistication and increasing influence of the region’s art collectors. Founded in 1993, White Cube has had a long association with Hirst and Emin, the most prominent of a group known as the Young British Artists that emerged in the 1990s.
