Desperately Seeking Susan
West Village, Manhattan
Once a 1950s glazier's workshop, this venue was transformed into an independent gallery and art collective. It now offers three contrasting spaces: an approximately 5,000-square-foot atrium beneath a dramatic skylight, a connected basement annex of approximately 1,500 square feet, and an approximately 3,000-square-foot Victorian mansion with a private patio. The mansion spans two floors connected by an ornate wrought-iron spiral staircase and can be accessed through its own entrance or from the atrium.

Tungsten’s Take
Three completely different spaces stacked on top of each other: an industrial loft, a Victorian townhouse, an underground gallery. As a production designer's resource, it's almost unfairly versatile.
