Gerard Butler loft in Chelsea : of a four-door mahogany.
In the lobby of the ceiling painting "The Rape of Ganymede." Eventually
broken plaster walls. Massive columns with capitals. Crystal chandeliers, cast
flickering shadows. What is it - a medieval castle? Not at all. This loft in the
heart of New York's Chelsea neighborhood...
In May, 2010, Architectural Digest profiled Gerard Butler's Chelsea loft
in May, 2010, causing the interior design world to sit up in our.
When asked to describe the loft's style, Butler offered :
"I guess I would describe the apartment as Bohemian old-world
rustic chateau with a taste of baroque."
Located on the sixth and seventh floor of an abandoned warehouse,
the loft was mostly white and uninspiring, broken up into several small rooms.
Butler, however, saw the tall ceilings with oversized arched windows, and realized
its potential. His architect, Alexander Gorlin, gutted the apartmen
for a fresh start, leaving only two support beams.
Belgian linen-covered bergeres and take notice.
Designed by movie set designer Elvis Restaino, this 3,300 square-foot,
two-story loft seems to incorporate just about every design style
(save Contemporary Zen), with spectacular results!
With his hiring of set designer Restaino, Butler found a kindred design soul,
and the two developed the loft's "fanciful aesthestic" over four-years' time.
