40 Bond Street,

Manhattan, NY 10012

The Bond Street area was one of NY’s most exclusive residential neighborhoods at the beginning of the 18th century. Prominent families lived in elegant brick and marble-faced row houses and mansions. The area lost its glamour in the 1840s when Fifth Avenue became more desirable and commercial buildings began to replace row houses. The diversity of buildings in NoHo, the mix of residential and industrial buildings, reflects the economic, social and technological transformation of New York in the 19th century.

In the interior, many of the master bathrooms have large windows to the exterior and are organised in narrow and tall bays, reminiscent of the New York lot. Sinks, shower and bathtub are partly embedded in the walls to create intimate, embracing niches. The separation of dry and wet areas and the selection of wood and corian as the finish for each emphasise and enhance the specific use.

very busy neighbourhood, many tourist foot traffic
