Shutter House
The Shutter House, designed by architect Shigeru Ban, is a building in lower Chelsea, in New York City. The condominium building has 9 units and is an 11-story structure, including a ground floor gallery.〔“The Metal Shutter House” http://www.archicentral.com/the-metal-shutter-house-new-york-usa-shigeru-ban-6020/〕 The building incorporates a layered façade with a unique shutter system, reflecting the industrial past of the Chelsea and the Meatpacking District. The design, completed in May 2011, brings new life to New York residential architecture, and transforms the idea of traditional apartment living.
==History==
The idea for the Shutter House came to life while much of Manhattan experienced changes in urban development. The design began as a simple two-story renovation project, in 2005, when a well-known gallery owner Klemens Gasser contacted Shigeru Ban.〔“Metal Shutter Houses”, Naomi R. Pollock, http://archrecord.construction.com/projects/building_types_study/multi-family-housing/2011/metal-shutter-houses.asp〕 The rezoning of West Chelsea and the Meatpacking District, as a result of the High Line development was the major urban development change to influence the Shutter House design. The High Line previously existed as an elevated industrial railroad, but after much debate, was repurposed as a public park.〔“Neighborhood Info” http://www.thehighline.org/about/neighborhood-info〕 In 1999, a non-profit group known as The Friends of the High Line formed when threats of demolition loomed over the railroad remnant. Today, Friends of the High Line along with the city of New York work together to preserve the structure as a park.〔“High Line History”. http://www.thehighline.org/about/high-line-history〕 Rezoning of Chelsea and the Meatpacking District greatly influenced the Shutter House with an art-infused neighborhood. The Special West Chelsea District was created in co-ordinance with rezoning plans, designated to encourage significant economic and residential growth.〔“West Chelsea Zoning Proposal” http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/westchelsea/westchelsea1.shtml〕 Ban was commissioned by his client the same year in which the rezoning of West Chelsea took place.
The rezoning of West Chelsea created great incentives for residential development. These new opportunities influenced Ban and his client to scrap the renovation plans and instead opt for a total rebuild. Although scheduled for completion in 2008, construction was not completed until May 2011.
