May 16, 2007

A meeting of the Design Committee of 350 Bleecker Street Apartment Corp. was held on May 16, 2007 at 6:30 PM at 350 Bleecker Street, New York, New York. Present were Robert Coviello, Maura Geils, Lauren Heidenry, Robinson Holloway, Jim Kafadar and Sue Kobin.

1) The lobby desk was agreed upon with the provision of a frosted glass top 
   held by stainless pegs or a stainless inset channel.

   The glass should be frosted on one side. Maura Geils is communicating with
   Falcon Perspective to get wood    samples, a revised rendering showing the
   glass and the railing proposal.    The railing will match the door handles 
   on the lobby entrance doors.

2) The wall covering that was voted upon in March will be installed on the south
   wall of the lobby. Rob Geils will show it to all board members in order to
   get input and proceed with installation rather than wait until the next board
   meeting in June.

3) Sue Kobin is working with Roche Bobois to see if they will do a furniture 
   installation in our lobby. If not, we will proceed with the ordering of the
   Fabien Baron B3 chairs that were voted upon in March's meeting.

4) Hallway ideas were discussed and one idea was proposed by Robinson Holloway.
   All members are welcome to bring forth visual content sample choices that can
   then be presented to the design committee and the board of directors for 
   approval. Being a large, costly, and time consuming job, it is being proposed
   to do it in stages, i.e. a few floors at a time.

5) Lighting was discussed. Jim Kafadar is working on finding out what type of 
   electrical current our hallways can handle in order to determine new lighting
   fixtures in the hallways. Moving Time Warner molding higher with an uplight
   behind it was discussed as were drywall over the faux brick next to the 
   elevators. Sconces were suggested next to the elevators also.

The meeting was adjourned approximately 7:20 PM.

Our next design meeting is scheduled for June 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the gym.

   lighting to provide accent light.

4. A tentative color scheme for the hallways was discussed:
   black and white and red -- ivory walls, salt and pepper carpeting, and either
   black or red doors. It was decided to paint two doors in the basement -- 
   one black, one red -- to determine which color looked best.
   Black and white murals were discussed as art for the area around the elevators.


5. Hallway design will be tested in small hallway in front of the 1E apartment.
   The sample florescent light and rope will be installed before the next meeting

  Falcon Perspectives to get wood samples, a revised rendering showing the
  glass and the railing proposal. The railing will match the door handles
  on the lobby entrance doors.

   consider doing one on each side of the elevator with a mirror accent.
   The Light Disc from Luce Plan was unanimously approved for the overhead
   hallway light. Two samples of the Light Disc fixture will be installed
   near apartment 1E.

3. Hallway carpeting was discussed. Randy Sell and Robinson Holloway will
   present two different color schemes: "blue camp" and "red/cerise camp." 
   The committee will review the schemes before choosing a carpeting color.
   Sample #595 from Aaronson's was the favorite carpet in the "blue camp."

4. Bricks in the near the elevators will be either demolished or covered with
   sheet-rock.

5. Elevator damage was discussed, i.e. handrail being stainless rather than
   black, the floor tile was discussed and suggestions came up to redo or 
   cover with carpet.

The next design meeting is scheduled for August 16th at 7:00 p.m. in apartment 6E.

   delivered in March.  The committee still needs to find a coffee table
   and a console table for the lobby. Members were asked to look for
   samples to present at the next meeting.  The lobby walls will be painted
   in March after the installation of additional lighting to highlight the 
   lobby art, and after the wood used to secure the art is buried in the wall.
   A flat, wall mounted radiator will also be installed in the lobby.
   The next art installation will be on March 1st.

2. There are two test hallways planned, one in the area outside 1E/1F and
   the other outside 4E/4F. The first test hallway will have a gray and cream 
   carpet and wall and door colors selected by the Board (pictures of carpet 
   samples currently in the case outside the mailroom). The other hallway will 
   have a carpet and color scheme selected by the Design Committee. At the 
   February meeting the committee unanimously decided on a bold carpet pattern
   (see http://www.350bleecker.com/design/hallway.html. Jim will
   make arrangements with Durkan to get carpet samples and prepare the
   test hallways in the next few weeks.
   
3. The building is currently soliciting bids from contractors to put up
   the molding in the hallways.

4. The next meeting of the design committee is scheduled for Wednesday, March 12, 6:45 PM.
