Building of the Day: The Future Perfect

Join us for a tour of the St. Luke's Townhouse, one of David Chipperfield Architects' earliest residential projects in New York. The renovation transforms a West Village townhouse through a restrained intervention that balances restored historic fabric with contemporary design. Home to The Future Perfect since 2019, the house serves as the design gallery’s New York location and is also frequently rented out for private events. Representatives from David Chipperfield Architects and The Future Perfect will discuss the project's design and use. Conceived as a home rather than a traditional gallery, the space reflects the gallery's distinctive approach to architecture, art, and design.

Founded by David Alhadeff in 2003, The Future Perfect is one of the world's foremost contemporary design galleries, known for its strong curatorial vision and immersive residential spaces.

Architect: David Chipperfield

Meeting address will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
