Architektur: New York: Welcome to meet

Meet at the Apartment is a two-story, 2,500 square-foot, highly stylized open loft in the Soho district of New York City. Fully engineered for creative thought to flourish, Meet has been intuitively outfitted with idea-generating essentials: a library stocked with art, design and photography reference books; a kitchen pantry filled with goodies; and breakout rooms that could double as private rooms in the trendiest NY clubs.

The upstairs area is 1,300 square feet with windows on three sides and curtains to divide the space into four sections. Accommodating 35 for sit-down presentations or 100 for product launches and premiere events, the space includes a library, two breakout rooms (each with lounge furniture, phone chargers, iMac station and 65” high-definition presentation screens) and a bright, open loft kitchen complete with fully stocked pantry, refrigerator filled with beverages and “kitchen table” large enough to accommodate 10 individuals.

Downstairs, a well-lit 1,000 square-foot conference room features a Vitra conference table that accommodates 18 in ultra-cozy Vitra Worknest chairs, a mobile 65” high definition presentation screen, whiteboard walls with gator shelving to present creative boards and computer, TV and telephone access. Leather couches create a casual meeting environment and a 200 square-foot Green Room offers added space for privacy.

A separate kids’ pool and play are includes a tented sandbox and toy room and large cabanas for family rental. Jet skis, boating and water sports are offered on the bay.

Bar: New York: Bed

Bereits vor der Eröffnung war es bereits in Sex and the City zu sehen: das Bed in Chelsea, New York. In den Loungebetten ist alles möglich und fast alles schon passiert. Aber neben der loungigen Atmosphäre, der spektakulären Aussicht und dem coolen Style sollte man vor allem mal einen der phantastischen Cocktails ausprobieren und Neues wagen. Schon mal eine Mischung aus Sangria und Caipirinha gehabt - mit zerquetschten, kernlosen Trauben. Yamyam.
