developer visualized the expansive potential of the property, as well as the neighborhood, and decided to buy the building. The 5th floor was developed into luxurious personal accommodations while the 6th floor became display space for the artist’s own collection of contemporary art – though the line between home and gallery is blurred, with living, dining and guest accommodations throughout both floors. Stairway banisters are glass so as not to interfere with the lines and shadows created by the symmetry of the steps. The gallery includes media theatre space featuring monumental, projection screen display panels for viewing video and cinematic art. Original concrete floors were resurfaced with ultra high gloss lustrous white epoxy of the type used in aircraft hangars. Walls, columns and ceilings are finished in white to make the most of the natural light which floods the entire two story space. Only the kitchen lacks windows, so specially designed chandeliers catch and distribute daylight, entering through a skylight, to enhance their incandescence.
