NeueHouse

From the modernist ‘machine for living’ to the post-modernist ‘machine for creating’ NeueHouse is a radically new kind of office: a series of spaces, experiences and amenities especially suited to ambitious innovators.

A private membership work collective intended for both solopreneurs and those leading teams of up to 10 people, NeueHouse is a complete rethinking of the ideal working environment for today’s creators in such fields as film, design, fashion, publishing, the arts and tech.

NYDA-003

YouTube Space NY / Google BrandLab

Six floors above Manhattan’s Chelsea Market—and encompassing approximately 20,000 sf, including a mezzanine—two highly innovative groups share resources and cultivate synergies.

YouTube Space NY houses professional-grade production and support spaces/equipment for emerging and established online content “creators.” With access to sound and green-screen stages, state-of-the-art recording and post-production video/audio edit capabilities, and areas for wardrobe, makeup, and equipment distribution, YouTube’s “channel partners” have the human and technological resources to be ambitious in developing and realizing their ideas. Central to the design concept, YouTube Space NY is also about congregating and learning with fellow creators and industry professionals. Workshops on creative strategy and audience development are held in the training areas. From cozy meeting areas to elevated lookouts, a multitude of touchdown and teaming spaces are available for collaboration.

Google BrandLab is a custom workshop experience designed to help brands grow their brand-building capabilities. The Google BrandLab space provides the resources and environment to support partnerships in advancing digital strategies for brand development online. The workshop space, with its “campfire” and cozy seating, is ideal for informal discussions and gatherings. The NanoKitchen is for snacking and “kitchen table” discussions. And, four distinct breakout areas provide space for brainstorming.
