[...] Archdaily ran a great story on a nine unit condominium project in Manhattan designed by Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban. I have to say that these pictures are fabulous. A neat feature is that these units use retractable shutters. Where some people may argue that a closed up unit may not be that attractive, it is hard to refute its energy savings. Having lived in Florida for a few years with the eminent storms there, shuttered up units do not take that much away from the landscape from my perspective. The inner room pictures feature great home dÃ©cor and the penthouse terrace is tough to beat in this house design. Via. [...]

Scaling his literal Curtain House into a larger and more dense development, Shigeru Ban’s Shutter Houses are one part architecture, one part art, and one part pure poetry from one of our favorite thoughtful architects. The 9-unit condo located in West Chelsea blurs the line between indoor and outdoor with a perforated metal shutter system that lets residence open and close their spaces on a whim.

Units range from 1,950 to 3,180-square-feet. The rolling shutters are inspired by Korean delis and Chelsea galleries that use industrial rolling grates to open and close their storefronts. Shigeru makes industrial chic, and allows urban dwellers to let the sunshine in and live among nature even in the bustling Big Apple. Metal Shutter Houses at 524 West 19th Street are scheduled for completion in Fall 2008.

@stiggywiggy : here will be the stair isn’t it? of course not an electrical service core.

without any question a nice design, with a very expensive detail to open both fronts. one bedroom is not really good working (not a good ventilation here, luxury that they will have 2 (!!!) stairs inside, living room in the north is not really nice (but perhaps it was not possible to place that room in the south (????), a huge space for the entrance (jesus!!!!). it’s very luxury by wasting a bit too much the space inside. of course it’s very nice to open both fronts, but to have at one ending (and actually in the south) the kitchen where u can not sit is also not too great (but again: i think there will be not a good view to the south anyway).

people are to fast blended by a in this case very good rendering, but anyhow, it’s a Ban and he is doing very good work.
