Thomas Juul-Hansen bridges the contemporary with the traditional and creates a beautiful clean space.
505 West 19th Street
The highly anticipated development at 505 West 19th Street is officially on the market. The project consists of a pair of 10-story buildings that hug the High Line with a shared lobby located beneath the elevated park. The revitalization of the High Line has transformed West Chelsea into a mecca of art and progressive architecture. This is Thomas Juul Hansen’s first ever ground-up luxury residential project. He sets a new standard of modernism. The building directly sits next to the High Line, so Juul-Hansen designed the windows in such a way that they are angled into the building so visitors on the park can not look directly inside. Exterior recalls the elegance of classic modernism while respecting the visual language and history of the High Line.
Kitchens: The details are luxurious and completely intuitive. The cabinets are stained and cerused oak, with metal trimmed doors. The handles are wrapped in leather.
Bathrooms: Baths are understated and elegant. Every surface is carefully selected, from marble floors to the Thomas Juul-Hansen designed metal framed glass doors. The cabinets and counter tops are designed to achieve modernism that never loses its warmth.
