classic meets contemporary at the bindery Story ANGY ALTAMIRANO photos JENNIFER DORFMAN/MODERN SPACES 10 | BOROMAG.COM | AUGUST 2013 REAL ESTATE The Bindery is keeping it classic, but with a modern twist. The new condos, located at 47-34 11th Street in Long Island City, welcome residents with both elements of classic design, like exposed brick walls, and the newest residential features, such as stainless steel appliances. “We went back to classic things that were passé and now are back,” said Jennifer Dorfman, director of sales at Modern Spaces, the real estate firm managing the development. “That’s what people are craving.” The building has seven floors with a total of 20 units ranging from one- to twobedroom apartments. When residents walk into the lobby of the building, they encounter furniture built by Withers and Grain, a design group from Brooklyn, who blended industrial metal with local wood to create items unique to the building. The walls of the lobby and hallways of The Bindery feature reclaimed wood wallpaper, which resembles real wood, as well as bookshelf wallpaper that makes residents want to reach in and grab a read. Once residents walk into the apartments, they are welcomed with exposed brick walls, stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and a walk-through layout that allows them to get around the apartment easily. The Bindery even brings back part of the 1940s and 1950s to the bathrooms in some of the apartments. “They’re not cookie cutter,” said Dorfman. “They do not feel generic like in other properties.” Other amenities include a fitness center, roof deck, 24-hour virtual doorman, balconies and outdoor space.
