Lifestyle is an expression of the life well lived. Lifestyle is the sum of our individual choices. It is the way we make our lives our very own. As old institutions fade and social structures fall away, the world is a smaller place. We are more mobile, jetting from one side of the world to the other, moving from one role in society to another. Nationality and class have been replaced by lifestyle. People find their place in the world through intelligence and taste. There are tribes of taste today. They recognize each other by their style. Lifestyle is the way a person distinguishes himself or herself. It is the artistry of living.

Five townhouses will have their own separate entrances and private rear gardens. A triplex penthouse will top the 11-story condo. Units will have dual gas and wood-burning fireplaces custom designed by Herzog & de Meuron. Floors will be wide-plank oak, and ceiling heights will be over 11 feet. Floor to ceiling windows will be fully-operable. Fixtures will include lighting by Jasper Morrison and kitchen appliances from Miele. A long list of amenities includes concierge services provided by the staff at the Gramercy Park Hotel on 24-hour call.

Ian Schrager has made the art of living his life’s work. He began his career creating clubs that redefined entertainment; then moved on to making people feel at home away from home. The brilliant success of his hotels came from his sheer determination to push the envelope and do something that had never been done before. The hotels were hailed as art and as theater. They provided what great hotels have always provided, an oasis of serenity, but they also delivered something new: an entertaining and transformative experience. Schrager’s hotels give you everything you want in a hotel plus what you never knew a hotel could provide, a truly visceral emotional experience that lifts your spirits. Each is more than a place to sleep. Schrager now brings the same transformative experience to the urban home.

The home is the ultimate expression of lifestyle. It is the sum of our tastes and pleasures. It not only expresses who we are, but helps transform us into who we want to be. It can make life better and improve the quality of life. Ian Schrager believes that through extraordinary architecture, unprecedented service and lifestyle management the home can truly reflect our lifestyle and improve our lives. As an expert in delivering the lifestyle to the most sophisticated and urbane clientele, Schrager is uniquely qualified to create homes that accomplish just that, and he has realized this at 40 Bond.

The design of 40 Mercer Street marks the most cutting-edge use of glass in a residential building in the United States to date...the largest sheets, approximately 7 by 12 feet, ever used on a residential project...On the lower floors, six-foot-wide sash windows open by dropping down to create a safety railing. On higher floors, windows open 17-20 feet wide electronically. All window movements are operated via key-operated motors with a built-in monitoring system. Windows are provided with recessed shades to provide uniformity of appearance from the street.

15 Central Park West, a new condominium now rising that actually manages the rare feat of living up to its grand prewar antecedents. If your goal were to produce a luxury apartment house in a traditional mode, one that would complete perhaps the last great piece of the Central Park residential gold coasts, then Robert A.M. Stern would be your man. Few architects are as closely familiar with the great history of New York urbanism as Stern, whose landmark series of books (New York 1880, 1900, 1930, 1960) are the definitive texts on the built city we have inherited. What Stern's 15 CPW, above, has in common with the best, most coveted prewar apartment houses is its careful massing and elegant proportion. There are no mysteries here. The setbacks feel natural and make instant visual sense. We feel there are people behind those windows. We will have an instinctual sense from the street of what is on the inside, even if we're not privileged enough to be inside: a vague geography of warm living rooms, glittering dining rooms, comfy master bedrooms. It's not a black box, but a collection of homes. A 70-by-200-foot courtyard and driveway will sit between the two towers. The building's health club and pool will sit directly beneath the courtyard.

Glassy Tribeca loft condo designed by Enrique Norten. The two 19th century buildings will be linked by a new thoroughly modern glass and steel structure that rises up out of the core. 1 York Street will form a kind of gateway into Tribeca. New retail space at street level will give pedestrians a safe landing across the forbidding Canal Street thoroughfare. Inside the loft-style apartments will feature maple wood flooring and open plan kitchen systems by Bulthaup. For the baths there will be custom designed sinks and floating white cabinets. The penthouse interior will feature a double-height 20 foot ceiling. The glass and panorama views of downtown will make this one of the most dramatic perches in Manhattan south of 14th Street. There will also be a unique fully-automated car park that requires no garage attendant and can retrieve parked cars in 90 seconds. This is one of a handful of projects developed and designed for people who truly want to live in architecture.

Exhiliration. Style. Distinction.

The landscaped circular drive leads you to a contemporary porte-cochere entry. The lobby is a triumph of design. Presented impeccably through a glass facade, it is the threshold to an unrivaled lifestyle. The pools at Element offer something for anyone and a year-round retreat for everyone. Swim laps in the 60' pool or unwind in the oversized whirlpool. Relax in a chair with a book as the kids play in the children's pool. Atrium-style glass and multi-tone mosaic tiles enhance an ambiance that perfectly reflects a way of life you've always believed possible. Your home at Element is so many things...breathtaking views, paramount comfort, world-class finishes, state-of-the-art technology, refined tastes. Enter into a world of urbane paradise.

The live/work concept in loft living was an early hallmark of residential life in Soho and Tribeca. But as the art world moved north to West Chelsea, new apartments and conversions have tended to be configured as conventional living space. We were pleased to read in the Times recently that this 12-story condo planned near 10th Avenue in Chelsea will have four ground-floor duplex units that will double as live/work spaces, with sky-lit galleries below grade meant for production and display of art. Units will also have sliding walls to allow flexible open plans. The design by architect Audrey Matlock will have a curtain wall with horizontal bands of glass set at irregular angles, giving it the kind of striking abstract form we tend to like. The project, developed by Madison Equities, will have 47 units in all, including one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Occupancy is expected in March of 2007. The area is about to see a dramatic transformation, with Frank Gehry's IAC headquarters just two blocks away, and major residential projects planned along the coming High-Line park.

The glassy free-standing structure at Greenwich and Canal Streets (left) was designed by Greenberg Farrow architects. Finishes will include 10-11 foot ceilings, and appliances from Sub-Zero, Asko, Miele, Kohler and Grohe.

24 hour attended lobby
Individual and refrigerated storage spaces

Experiencing the Lower East Side evokes the vitality of generations of immigrants who lived here. This feeling cannot be packaged and mass-marketed. It's inscribed in the exuberant architecture of Sephardic synagogues and resounds from the Chinese hua mei birds singing in bamboo cages. At BLUE, you weave that rich memory and tenacious energy into your day.

The Lower East Side’s amazing history of reinvention and experimentation inspires a diverse social atmosphere, where hip havens like WD50 and Schiller’s Liquor Bar sit happily with age-old establishments.

Afterward, taste the brew at teany, the tea restaurant co-founded by Moby.
