NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Related Companies
today announced the launch of sales at Lantern House, its highly
anticipated condominium building designed by the acclaimed
Heatherwick Studio with interiors by March & White. Currently
rising in West Chelsea at 515 West
18th Street, Lantern House is comprised of 181 elegantly
appointed residences, state-of-the-art amenities, and will offer
unparalleled services. Uniquely crafted to take advantage of its
location, Lantern House includes a 22-story west building and a
10-story east building, joined by a dramatic glass lobby pavilion
draped under the High Line.
"Inspired by the history and views of the neighborhood,
Heatherwick Studio designed Lantern House from the inside-out
creating a one-of-a-kind collection of residences along the High
Line," said Jordan Sasson, Vice
President at Related Companies. "The timeless architecture, with
its signature modern interpretation of bay windows, inviting
interiors by March & White, and Related's signature amenities
and services will create unmatched homes in the heart of
West Chelsea."
Lantern House builds on Heatherwick Studio's international
boundary-pushing projects, including Vessel at Hudson Yards and
Little Island at Pier 55. The design for Lantern House is a
response to the neighborhood's maritime warehouses and a nod to
Downtown Manhattan's industrial
loft spaces. The building's façade features hand-laid antiqued grey
brickwork with industrial metal detailing, and a dramatic
reinvention of the bay window that maximizes light and views
including breathtaking views of the Hudson River, the Midtown
skyline, the High Line, and Chelsea's historic district.
"For our first residential project in North America, we wanted to design something
that is interesting to look at and could be part of the view," said
Thomas Heatherwick, Founder of
Heatherwick Studio. "People love to live in memorable places. For
Lantern House, it was important that our design feel rooted in and
of New York as much as possible.
When Lantern House residents return home, we want them to feel like
they are returning to a place like no other."
As distinctive from the inside as it is from the outside,
Lantern House's interiors were designed by March & White, the
international design studio founded in London by Elliot
March and James
White. Leaders in modern luxury and experience-centric
design, March & White are known for their sophisticated and
dynamic approach.
Each of the 181 residences at Lantern House include the
building's signature three-dimensional bay windows, offering
horizontal and vertical panoramas and adding grace, symmetry and
proportion in every room. March & White's interiors seamlessly
complement Lantern House's distinctive architecture resulting in
homes that are timeless and undeniably luxurious.
"It all started with the architecture as we worked closely with
Related and Heatherwick Studio to define the story of Lantern
House. It was important for the interiors and architecture to have
a conversation that incorporated the history and energy of the
location and neighborhood," said James
White. Elliot March
continued, "We collaborated closely with Heatherwick Studio sharing
ideas throughout the design and development process to bring
creativity and materiality into the interiors. The holistic design
connects a distinctive façade with a heritage interior. In all
ways, Lantern House is a building filled with character."
Custom open-plan kitchens designed by March & White are
featured in each home, with a mix of warm natural materials and
elegant custom finishes, effortlessly melding timeless craft with
modern technology. Kitchens feature a fully integrated Gaggenau
appliance package, convex-fluted oak cabinetry handcrafted in the
UK by English joinery purveyors WJ White, marble countertops
and backsplashes offered in Calacatta Venato or Nordic Grey and
custom-designed bronze finish trim and hardware
throughout. Each home will also feature ceiling heights up to
10'9", 8' tall solid core wood doors with March & White
designed hardware by Valli & Valli and 5" wide oak flooring.
Residences will be available in two distinct finish palettes,
offering early buyers their preferred choice of material
palettes.
The courtyard designed by Hollander Design wraps around the
1,900 square-foot, free-standing glass-walled lobby pavilion
inviting residents home through a distinctive entryway flanked by
maple and magnolia trees. Surrounding the garden are a library
lounge with fireplace, private dining suite for 20 guests with a
bar and catering kitchen, game room and screening room. Residents
will also be able to enjoy a co-working lounge and a Loggia Gallery
furnished with a mix of lounge and bar seating that opens onto a
private courtyard garden.
The two-story health includes a 75-foot long swimming pool in a
double-height space, cold plunge pool, hot tub, traditional and
infrared saunas, locker rooms, men's and women's steam rooms, and
spa treatment room. Curated by Equinox, the health club and
swimming pool overlook the High Line and include the latest
exercise equipment, a yoga and stretching room and a private
training room. Additional amenities include a children's playroom
and an outdoor play terrace. Residents also have access to a
spectacular rooftop sundeck offering panoramic city skyline views
with lush landscaping, a barbecue area, a fire pit, dining table
and chaise lounges. Lantern House will also feature an on-site
parking garage, bicycle storage and ground floor retail space.
Located in West Chelsea, a
neighborhood cherished for its history and vibrant art scene,
Lantern House's unique design adds to a district that has become a
hotbed for contemporary architecture from Pritzker Prize-winning
master architects like Zaha Hadid
and Frank Gehry. One of New York City's most sought-out places to
live, West Chelsea's diverse
lifestyle, culinary, retail and cultural attractions are close by,
while some of Manhattan's most
interesting neighborhoods and parks, including Hudson Yards and the
550-acre Hudson River Park, are just
moments away.
Lantern House features one- to four-bedroom residences, many
with private setback terraces, and an assortment of expansive
penthouses. Pricing will start at $1.395
million to approximately $17
million. Related Sales LLC and Corcoran Sunshine
Marketing Group are the exclusive marketing and sales agents for
the development. Occupancy is slated for fourth quarter 2020. The
sales gallery is located at 153 10th Avenue. For
