CONTEXT
A New York City Urban Townhouse Located at Nine West 19th Street in the Flatiron/Chelsea commercial district, this mixed-use property boasts 10,275 sq. ft. of maximum retail and residential flexibility. The retail area of the townhouse will be used as the general common areas of DOMANI Studios, while the upper loft floors will house the open-concept offices with each major team taking up one floor. Built in 1903, this townhouse is part of the Midtown South Business District and lies in The Ladies Mile Historic District—one of the most vibrant and rapidly growing 24 hour, 7 day, live/work neighborhoods in Manhattan. Should DOMANI decide to expand, the site has additional buildable floor area possible, subject to approval by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission and a 75’ overall height restriction.

CONCEPT The Living Office
It is important to translate DOMANI’s business culture into the design concept of the space. There are many collaborative work settings throughout the office that enriches the work experience and improves vperformance. From private meeting rooms to semi-private meeting spaces that emulate a comfortable living room setting to linear group seating to jump spaces that allows temporary work between other activities, team members are always able to move from one mode of work to another depending of the project and need.
