Voyeurlicious Design (TM) In More Ways Than One: 188 Minna #23F
And speaking of glass walls (but definitely not glass ceilings) as well as voyeurlicious design (in more ways than one), a reader points us in the direction of St. Regis Residences (a.k.a. 188 Minna) #23F.
No word on whether or not the “automatic window coverings” extend to the wall as well.
UPDATE: And now there is (and the word is yes). Now if you could flip a switch and the glass turned translucent...
∙ Listing: 188 Minna #23F ( 2/2.5) - $2,595,000 [Janet Krahling] [MLS]

Yes. There are black out window coverings that extend the length of the glass wall.

Not a lot of house for the money, especially that tiny kitchen. Like the looks of the sink in the second bathroom (is that inlaid or is it cut from a single piece of marble?!); wonder how practical it is...

That technology (flip a switch and the glass becomes translucent) is available, as you might already know. I've been to a restaurant that used it in the bathroom... the stall doors were clear glass, but when you engage the latch, it completes the circuit and the glass becomes opaque. Very cool.

It is sexy but sterile. It feel too much like a top of the moment hotel. YOu can stay one night and then live in something more charming and still come out ahead.

I went to a bathroom in a restaurant in manhattan where the clear door fogs up when you go in.

Yeah, that's Bar 89 in NYC. It's been around forever.

My favorite version of "privacy glass" I have ever seen was in Germany way back in the '70's.
Insulated glass with about a 1 inch clear space between the two panes. Push a button and you hear a sound remarkably like a vacuum cleaner and watch the space fill up with tiny versions of ping-pong balls.
