The 7-story, mid-block building with 66 condominium apartments known as the Clinton Lumiere at 350 West 53rd Street is nearing completion.
The building is being developed by Victor Homes and has been designed by Gerner Kronick + Valcarel. The cast-in-place concrete structure has a glass entrance marquee and is setback from the building line at its ends and in the middle.
It has a very handsome facade with filigree incisions on the parts of the facade that Randolph Gerner, the architect, said were based on the Fibonacci sequence. Mr. Gerner said today he is "dazzled" by cast-in-place concrete," but added that its imperfections need be hid and that when plotted the Fibonacci mathematical sequence products spirals like Nautilis shells that are "one of the most pleasing shapes."
The building has a handsome fenestration pattern of floor-to-ceiling windows. The building, which is between 8th and 9th Avenues, has full-time doorman/concierge service, a fitness room, individual storage units, bicycle storage and many balconies. It has about 10 "townhouse" units, half of which have gardens and the other half have street entrances. The building's 6 penthouse units share a roof deck.
The apartments feature Werner bamboo floors and individually controlled heating and air-conditioning units and Bosch washers and dryers. There is a garden for all residents in the rear of the building, which recently received a temporary certificate of occupancy and residents should be moving in this month.
