The Modern, a 6-story structure located in Manhattan's Chelsea, is a green building which incorporates innovative engineering and design features. An advantage of being eco-friendly is to lower costs for its residents.
This new development hosts 8 duplex units, spanning up to 1600 square feet in width, including the two bedrooms, garden duplex, and large spa-style Cohara limestone baths. There is also 900 square feet of private garden space.
The kitchen is appointed with slate gray granite counter tops and frosted glass cabinetry. It contains high-quality appliances including the Subzero refrigerator and wine chiller, Miele dishwasher, and Viking range. The units are also equipped with a working fireplace and a washer and dryer.
Because of The Modern's eco-friendly design, the residents’ electricity and gas consumption bills are well below average for the area. A geothermal well is dug into the ground to helps circulate water through the underground pipes.
Other amenities such as a landscaped courtyard, elevator, and centralized air conditioning system are also supplied for the convenience of the residents..
