Modern 23 is a luxury condominium with 14 apartments located in the heart of Chelsea in Manhattan. The building is situated on a 50’ x 100’ lot with a total building area of 25,000 square feet. Each floor consists of two, 2,000 square foot apartments that extend the full depth of the floor plate, offering views to the north and south.

The apartments feature open, flexible layouts with floor-to-ceiling windows and juliet balconies. Dark grey brick frames the entire facade and helps the building relate to its context of historic masonry buildings. Even with its strong contemporary architectural character, Modern 23 fits comfortably within a streetscape of traditional pre-war architecture.

John played the dual role of Senior Designer and Project Architect, conceiving the overall aesthetic concept and planning the building’s internal structural layout and circulation core.  John produced the majority of all drawings that were necessary for each phase of the project and worked in concert with junior staff members and firm management.
