Moving Walls Transform Apartment: Four Minutes of WOW! (VIDEO) : TreeHugger
Moving Walls Transform Apartment: Four Minutes of WOW! (VIDEO) : TreeHugger
This video really makes you re-think square footage. It takes the concept of "convertible" apartments to a whole new level. This would be very interesting in New York, although I think it'd still be a hard sell for most New Yorker's, who remain fixated on square feet. The closet thing I've seen to this is those pod concept hotel rooms in mid-town. I've seen quite a few apartments that have been customized with of course the murphy bed popping out of a wall and perhaps a hidden table or desk, or some other psuedo "Jetsons" concepts. The designer featured in this video is miles ahead of any space saving concepts I've ever seen in NY or even the tiny model apartments featured in IKEA. Overall, it's interesting and very cool but I think I'd grow weary of rolling all those walls around. However, they didn't show the most important feature following square feet - Closets!

New York Doorman Strike May Make Trash Men of Luxury Residents - BusinessWeek
New York Doorman Strike May Make Trash Men of Luxury Residents - BusinessWeek
New York City is approximately 13 hrs away from a possible doorman strike if the union cannot reach an agreement with the city's apartment building owners. Porters, supers, elevator operators, and handymen are also prepared to strike as well. Managing agents, co-op boards and the like are scrambling to put together a contingency plan in the event of a walk-out.
These people are hardworking and the silent keepers of the gate. As a broker, I can attest that if you get on the building staff's wrong side, they can keep you out of that gate. I've always advised new agents, that a little bit of courtesy and respect goes a long way when interacting with building staff. I've developed relationships over the years with many buildings.
I know how hard these people work, including my own building staff to keep things running smoothly. Hopefully a fair agreement can be reached.
