NouveL living ANYONE IN THE MARKET for a new abode that boasts expansive views of both the skyline and the water, not to mention the most luxurious amenities possible, should check out 100 Eleventh Avenue (Residences by Ateliers Jean Nouvel, with Beyer Blinder Belle). Popularly known as “Nouvel Chelsea,” 100 Eleventh offers generously proportioned environments composed of stainless steel, etched and clear glass, terrazzo, and custom lighting. Architect Jean Nouvel’s “total design” approach is exemplified by his ingenious storage solutions and his use of highly engineered water-and-temperature control fixtures. Every apartment at 100 Eleventh has a unique pattern of powder-coated steel window mullions—its own “fingerprint,” if you will—and features floor-to-ceiling window walls, oriented to the south and west. Open, curved, or rectilinear spaces have been allocated to allow for a broad variety of furniture configurations that take full advantage of the light and views. Kitchens flow spatially into open living-room areas and feature custom fixtures conceived by Jean Nouvel to complement art and furniture. As Holly Parker, senior vice president at Prudential Douglas Elliman, who is handling sales and marketing for the building, puts it, “Nouvel has designed a building which is the perfect blend of architecture and high-end lifestyle. It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of historical significance in an innovative neighborhood.” Indeed, in the center of the vibrant Chelsea neighborhood, with close proximity to Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers, and the Hudson River Park, 100 Eleventh—with added perks Luxury Attaché concierge services, a seventy-foot indoor/outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, and dramatic lobby—truly merits its name: a new residential experience for a new Chelsea. u
