Gdje svjetlost obitava

Promišljeno preoblikovan od strane cijenjene arhitektice Elizabeth Roberts, stan 701 potkrovlje je iznimnog mira i ljepote. Okupan sunčevom svjetlošću koja ulazi kroz osam velikih prozora s hrastovim okvirima, dom istodobno djeluje izrazito njujorški i potpuno izdvojen od njegove užurbanosti — mjesto gdje pažljivo osmišljen dizajn, prirodni materijali i izvanredna svjetlost postoje u savršenoj ravnoteži.

Ovo arhitektonski značajno potkrovlje odiše dubokim mirom i pruža rijetku priliku za život u jednom od najvječnijih oblika luksuza donjeg Manhattana: prostoru elegancije, volumena i autentičnosti.

KINEMATOGRAFSKO POTKROVLJE

Stropovi visoki 11 stopa i veliki prozori okrenuti prema jugozapadu ispunjavaju potkrovlje prirodnom svjetlošću tijekom cijeloga dana, dok se otvoreni pogledi pružaju prema Greenwich Villageu i krošnjama koje okružuju Union Square Park. Kako se sunce kreće prostorom, njegove se proporcije, teksture i dimenzije otkrivaju u nenametljivoj eleganciji. Podovi od širokih drvenih dasaka, čiste arhitektonske linije i prostrani otvoreni tlocrt stvaraju dom koji istodobno pruža osjećaj ukorijenjenosti i lakoće.

KUHINJA, KUPAONICE I OKRUŽENJE

Kuhinju uokviruje veličanstvena radna ploča od mramora Calacatta Viola, a opremljena je upečatljivom pećnicom Blue Star, sustavom za kuhanje PITT, hladnjakom Fisher & Paykel i integriranim sustavom filtriranja vode. Dvije kupaonice nalik spa-centru — jedna s dubokom kadom za namakanje, a druga s prostranim kišnim tušem — pružaju umirujuće utočište od grada s druge strane, dok je centralna klimatizacija diskretno smještena kako bi se očuvali otvorenost potkrovlja i njegov arhitektonski integritet.

Velika zaokretna vrata vode u mirnu spavaću sobu s garderobom. Tu je i galerija koja može poslužiti kao dodatni prostor za spavanje ili kućni ured.

ZGRADA

Projektirao ju je arhitekt Robert H. Robertson tijekom zlatnog doba arhitekture pozlaćenog doba, a zgrada McIntyre utjelovljuje eleganciju i funkcionalnost komercijalnog dizajna kasnog 19. stoljeća — s velikim industrijskim prozorima, raskošnim proporcijama i pročeljem utemeljenim na ritmu, stilu i vertikalnosti. Stanarima su na raspolaganju videointerfon Carson i fleksibilnost stambene zadruge u kojoj su kućni ljubimci dobrodošli.

LOKACIJA

Smješteno na raskrižju četvrti Flatiron, Union Square i Greenwich Village, ovo se potkrovlje nalazi u jednom od arhitektonski najraznolikijih i kulturno najbogatijih dijelova Manhattana — okruženo poznatim restoranima, omiljenom tržnicom Union Square Farmer’s Greenmarket, povijesnim zgradama od lijevanog željeza i trajnom kreativnom energijom koja već generacijama oblikuje život u donjem dijelu grada.

Ovo je potkrovlje oblikovano svjetlošću, proporcijama i atmosferom — trajni izraz romantičnog lica donjeg New Yorka.

Where Light Lives
Thoughtfully transformed by acclaimed architect Elizabeth Roberts, Residence 701 is a loft of remarkable calm and beauty. Bathed in sunlight from eight oversized oak-framed windows, the home feels at once distinctly New York and entirely removed from its intensity—a place where carefully considered design, natural materials, and extraordinary light exist in perfect balance.

This architecturally significant loft is deeply serene, and offers a rare opportunity to live inside one of downtown Manhattan’s most timeless forms of luxury: a place of elegance, volume and authenticity.

A CINEMATIC LOFT
Soaring 11-foot ceilings and oversized south western-facing windows flood the loft with natural light throughout the day, while open views stretch toward Greenwich Village and the treetops surrounding Union Square Park. As the sun moves through the space, the loft’s scale, texture, and proportions reveal themselves with quiet elegance. Wide-plank wood floors, clean architectural lines, and an expansive open layout create a home that feels both grounding and effortless.

KITCHEN, BATH AND ENVIRONMENT
The kitchen is framed by a magnificent Calacatta Viola marble countertop, and anchored by a striking Blue Star oven, PITT cooking system, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and an integrated water filtration system. Two spa-like baths, one with a deep soaking tub and one with oversized rain shower offer a calming retreat from the city beyond, while central air is discreetly placed to preserve the loft’s openness and architectural integrity.

An oversized pivot door leads to the peaceful bedroom with walk-in closet. There is also a mezzanine loft that provides flexibility as an additional sleeping space, or home office.

THE BUILDING
Designed by Architect Robert H. Robertson during the golden age of gilded age architecture, the McIntyre Building embodies the elegance and utility of late 19th-century commercial design—with oversized industrial windows, generous proportions, and a façade rooted in rhythm, style and verticality. Residents enjoy the Carson video intercom, and the flexibility of a pet-friendly co-op.

THE LOCATION
Positioned at the crossroads of Flatiron, Union Square, and Greenwich Village, the loft sits within one of Manhattan’s most architecturally layered and culturally storied neighborhoods—surrounded by celebrated restaurants, the beloved Union Square Farmer's Greenmarket, historic cast-iron buildings, and the enduring creative energy that has defined downtown living for generations.

This is a loft shaped by light, proportion, and atmosphere—an enduring expression of downtown New York at its most romantic.
