First Look Inside Shvo's White Space

1.

this will be a perfect place to relax after riding your unicorn home from work in your white-linen body suit, putting on some Phillip Glass and hanging out with Falcore, but what happens when you spill a glass of red wine? my guess is the room collapses on itself and creates a worm hole in order to maintain it's purity. nice Toyo Ito rip-off on that light-tree thing by the way.

2.

finally a place for me and my robot family.

3.

"so that people who want to live near the Chelsea gallery atmosphere can now experience it while still in their underwear."

Tighty whiteys only, one presumes.

Good one #1! Anyone have a glass of wine...let's see what that baby is made of.....but bring the unicorn so we can escape the clutches of the worm hole...and where's batman with his bag of tricks when you need him?

5.

this place is next to the old limelight - the club in the old church. have you been to the area at night. it's loud and crazy...

6.

Got to love the marketing of these things. I live just North on 6th Avenue. This area is terrible at night (and not great during the day). Between the Limelight crowd, and the club crowd on 21st Street, it is bumper to bumper traffic all night, and lots of people not from Chelsea (and not from anywhere within a reasonable cab ride from Chelsea). Same during the day with Bed Bath & Beyond, and the other big box stores. The galleries are four avenues West of this place.

7.

my gym is across the street, and i cannot for the life of me think who would drop the kind of money i'm sure shvo wants to live in this location.

8.

Is it me, or is the design of this building modeled off the Curbed logo (appearing at the top of your screen).

9.

it's a beautiful building on the outside, but as others have said, a sucky location. and those interiors are dubious at best...

10.

Celebrating "light and openess"? How much does he take it in the ass?

11.

#8 I smell a law suit: Shvo vs. Curbed.com.....and unlike the frivolous lawsuit filed by the judge with the pants fiasco...I think this case has got some teeth! #8 is the first material witness!

12.

#10.....I'm sure Lockhart and Shvo are lovers. This blog has ZERO credibility because Lockhart and Curbed are the only ones in the universe to give Shvo (the moron) any playtime.

Wake up people. There has been several loft building conversions on that same block and developers had no problem finding plenty of buyers for $2M+ renovated loft space around those blocks. The O'Neil building and Extell's Altair come to mind. That being said all the comments about street noise, late night fights & 5:00 am stereo pumpinp are on the mark. Some of these buildings are just starting to see owners move in and they are in for a rude awakening (in every way). I think with the accelerated gentrification of the area though many club owners faced with increasing complaints from community residents will eventually just pack up and go to a less residential area (fashion district maybe).

Are there any other new developments that are using the art/living concept by exhibiting original artwork in the lobby, sales office and/or model units? Any other buildings collaborating with galleries? Do you see this as a growing trend?
