Galerie

One of the more artistic structures to arrive with the LIC building boom, Galerie is a collaboration between ODA Architects and Paris Forino Design. Utilizing three different window typologies, and housing an impressive art collection, Galerie is an exercise in how residential living can be sleek, stylish, and sustainable.

This full service building has a full time doorman, concierge, and live-in super, but that’s just the beginning. It has the standard amenities for modern luxury buildings like a pool, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, a party room, and a landscaped roof deck. However, there’s also a permanent gallery space with art exhibitions, as well as a sculpture garden.

Units in Galerie are large and range from studios to three bedroom apartments. Units with two or more bedrooms have two bathrooms, and three bedroom homes come with an additional powder room. Master baths come with custom lacquer vanities, Waterworks fixtures, deep soaking tubs, walk-in showers, or both.

Homes here are open and bright, with living spaces usually separated by an island or a peninsula. White oak flooring lines the living and sleeping spaces, giving them an elegant look. Kitchens are fully equipped with Bosch appliances like refrigerators, gas stoves, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, and wine coolers in select homes. Select units also have private outdoor spaces like balconies and terraces.

Right across the street from MoMA PS1, Galerie seeks to add to the artistry of the neighborhood. Their gallery, ArtBox, has collections from artists like Monica Delgato, Cara Lynch, and Christopher Spinelli. The sculpture garden is an impressive sight as well, with works by local LIC artist, Allen Glatter.
