Metal Shutter Houses at 524 West 19th Street is an 11 story boutique condominium designed by Shigeru Ban, winner of the 2014 Pritzker Architecture Prize, in collaboration with New York architect Dean Maltz. Completed in 2011 and developed by Jeff Spiritos of HEEA Development L.L.C. and Chelsea art dealer Klemens Gasser, the building contains just nine residential units above ground floor gallery space. The project evolved from a planned two story renovation in 2005 after the High Line's refurbishment triggered rezoning in West Chelsea, granting special development rights that allowed for a complete rebuild.
The building's defining feature is its motorized perforated metal shutters that allow residents to transform the façade's appearance. The main façade is divided into three bays, each with three layers: the signature metal shutters, a low glass railing, and large motorized window walls that fold upward to create what one observer called an "architectural ballet." This system enables 20-foot floor-to-ceiling glass walls to retract completely, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. By concentrating mechanicals in tall white lacquer storage units and embedding sliding door tracks and lighting directly into the slab, Ban eliminated the need for a plenum to maximize ceiling heights.
The building occupies a prime location in West Chelsea's gallery district, flanked by Frank O. Gehry's IAC headquarters and Annabelle Seldorf's terracotta banded 520 West 19th Street, and across from Jean Nouvel's 100 Eleventh Avenue. The site sits steps from the High Line and Hudson River Park, in what has been described as "the epicenter of modern architecture." The neighborhood's low-profile galleries and buildings allow for long city views, including sightlines to the Empire State Building from multiple units.
Apartments feature double-height living rooms with soaring 20-foot ceilings, custom Shigeru Ban designed kitchens with white Corian countertops and white matte lacquer cabinetry, and bathrooms finished in Bianco Dolomiti marble. Units range from duplexes to a triplex penthouse with more than 3,300 square feet of interior space and nearly 2,000 square feet of outdoor terraces. Common features include white oak flooring throughout, key locked elevator access, in-unit washer/dryers, and the building's signature upwardly pivoting glass walls opening to private balconies and terraces. One sixth floor duplex includes a 46-foot-long double-height living room, while the penthouse offers panoramic views from the Hudson River to the Midtown skyline from its private rooftop terrace.
The building provides full time doorman service and maintains Ban's minimalist aesthetic that blends traditional Japanese architecture with International Style modernism. The penthouse, which sold immediately when it hit the market in 2007, saw its deal fall through in 2010 after the buyer had extensively remodeled the space with traditional finishes. Ban and Maltz subsequently restored the original minimalist details, removing paneling and replacing a wood burning fireplace with a colorfully decorated flue rising to the 20-foot ceiling, preserving the architect's vision of what The New York Times called "a fantasy of modern living."

Two Northside Piers stands as a 30 story, 270 unit luxury condominium at 47 North 4th Street on the Williamsburg waterfront, completed in 2008 as part of the larger Northside Piers development. Developed by Toll Brothers, RD Management, and L&M Development Partners and designed by FXFowle Architects, this blue glass tower was among the first residential developments to transform Williamsburg's former warehouse district into a premier residential enclave. The building offers sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and East River from many of its units, with the tower positioned closest to the water as part of the two tower complex.
Apartments range from studios to impressive triplex penthouses and unique four level townhouse units with 44 foot long cellars. Units feature floor to ceiling windows, rich American walnut floors, and kitchens designed by Stephen Alton with high gloss custom cabinets, honed marble countertops, and premium appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators and Bosch cooktops. Bathrooms showcase floor to ceiling tile with Lefroy Brooks fixtures, frameless glass enclosed showers with rain heads, and separate soaking tubs. Many apartments include in unit washers and dryers, and select units offer private balconies and terraces with spectacular city and river views.
The building provides an extensive amenities package including a heated indoor pool with ozone filtration system (the only one in Williamsburg), hot tub, sauna, and state of the art fitness center with Peloton bikes. Additional amenities encompass 24 hour doorman and concierge service, massage and yoga rooms, children's playrooms, screening room, residents' lounge with outdoor terrace, on site valet parking, bike storage, and refrigerated grocery storage. The comprehensive amenity offering rivals that of Manhattan's luxury buildings while maintaining the neighborhood's distinctive character.
Located steps from the East River Ferry, the building offers convenient transportation options with the nearby L train providing one stop access to the East Village. The waterfront location places residents in the heart of North Williamsburg's dining, arts, and entertainment scene, with easy access to Domino Park, East River State Park, and the area's renowned restaurants and galleries. The building benefits from a 25 year tax abatement running until 2036, making it an attractive investment opportunity in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods.
A standout feature is the building's 400 foot long waterfront pier crowned by "Crescendo," an eight ton stainless steel sculpture by Brooklyn artist Mark Gibian that serves as both functional shade structure and striking public art. This dramatic, rib like skeletal formation evokes sea imagery and provides seating while offering incredible views of the river and Manhattan skyline. The sculpture's installation was notably complex, requiring months of permitting and specialized transport due to its massive 28 by 16 foot dimensions, exemplifying the developers' commitment to creating something extraordinary rather than merely functional for this waterfront amenity.
