Il vostro desiderio più grande è sempre stato quello di vivere in un romanzo di Verne?
Vorreste un soffitto a forma di dirigibile e degli oblò al posto delle finestre?
Ma soprattutto avete quasi 2 milioni di dollari?
Potreste vivere davvero nella casa dei vostri sogni.
Has your greatest desire always been to live in a novel by Jules Verne?
Would you want a ceiling shaped like a blimp and portholes instead of windows?
But above all have you got almost 2 million dollars?
You could really live in the home of your dreams.
The unusual and gigantic apartment in question is located in Chelsea, a neighborhood in Manhattan and Jeremy Noritz, the owner, bought it in 2006 for $ 1.3 million.
The 1800 square meters, which make up the house, are divided into a large open space in which there are kitchen and living room, one bedroom and two bathrooms.
Noritz has recreated a functional input port similar to the one of a submarine, has positioned wooden gears, vintage armchairs with cupholders incorporated and has hung brass sculptures, small airships and old fans to the ceiling.
The focal point of the house is also a large zeppelin shot that seems to float on the ceiling, another blimp, but this time exploded, is the dominant theme of the bedroom which has, within it, a bomb-shaped device that raises and lowers the bed.
It took almost two years to transform the classic style of the apartment in that retro-futuristic steampunk but, perhaps, the conversion is only half successful, seems to have spared much time on the amount of objects rather than a true quality of them and everything seems too load and flashy.
Mr. Noritz is selling all at the modest sum of $ 1.75 million: ‘I’m going to spend much time away from New York’ he says. ‘I love my house very much, but it’s time that someone else enjoy it.’
Someone comes forward? (altro…)
