524 West 19th Street #PH, New York City, NY 10011

One of the most spectacular spaces in Manhattan.

The Metal Shutter House building is designed by Pritzker winning Shigeru Ban with interiors designed by AD 100 Andre Mellone of Studio Mellone. This apartment is a confluence of high design, light, sweeping views, and comfort.

Located on a prime block in the heart of West Chelsea’s gallery district, this Triplex penthouse at the Metal Shutter Houses offers more than 3,300 square feet of exquisitely finished interiors and nearly 2,000 square feet of landscaped terraces with breathtaking skyline and river views from every level.

The private elevator landing introduces a residence that blends striking architecture with a sense of discreet sophistication. Upon entry, the residence reveals a dramatic 46' great room with soaring ceilings that is bracketed by two 20' walls of glass that frame the skyline. The 20' pivoting wall of glass retracts completely to create a seamless indoor and outdoor living experience. Both north and south exposures open to landscaped terraces, including a 48' by 15' terrace ideal for entertaining or dining while taking in the sweeping panoramas.

The custom Shigeru Ban kitchen is fitted with a central island, white Corian countertops, and top of the line appliances. The kitchen offers abundant storage and seamless flow to the surrounding living spaces. An adjoining den offers flexibility and can easily serve as a fourth bedroom with its own bath.

The upper floor is devoted to the primary suite, a private retreat offering abundant space and seamless living. The bedroom suite is grandly proportioned, opening onto two terraces that fill the space with natural light and uninterrupted views. A generous walk-in closet provides exceptional storage and enhances the sense of luxury. The primary bathroom features Bianco Dolomiti marble slab flooring with radiant heat, white mosaic glass tile walls, a custom Corian double vanity, a deep soaking tub, and a glass enclosed shower. A study overlooks the great room, creating an elegant and quiet workspace or library.

On the main level, a secondary suite framed by natural light offers a refined retreat of its own, with glass sliding doors that open directly onto the terrace. The suite is completed with an en suite bath, while an additional bedroom with its own bath is also located on this level, providing further flexibility for family or guests.

An oak spiral staircase ascends to a private landscaped rooftop terrace with panoramic views stretching from the Hudson River to the Midtown skyline. Solid oak floors run throughout the residence and three private storage rooms transfer with the home.

524 West 19th Street is a boutique condominium designed by Shigeru Ban and completed in 2008. With only nine residences across eleven floors, it offers the rare combination of intimacy and high design. The building is defined by its iconic motorized metal shutters, a hallmark of Ban’s celebrated architectural style that balances privacy and light.

This coveted location combines cultural vibrancy with the privacy of a discreet, boutique residence. This building is in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Manhattan, surrounded by world class art galleries, the new Faena Hotel, the Whitney Museum, the High Line, Chelsea Market, Hudson River Park, and an array of fine dining and cultural destinations.
