In 2008, we received a formal eviction letter from Carnegie Hall. That's when Tod and I realized our glass penthouse wasn't going to work as a primary residence. We couldn't move our art collection and books there. The space was too small, and the walls were all glass. We talked briefly about selling, but we loved the penthouse too much. Instead, we decided to look for a second apartment─a simple place for our life stuff.
2008年,我们收到了卡内基音乐厅发出的赶走我们的正式信函。正是那时候,我和托德认识到那座玻璃顶层公寓当不了我们的主要居所。我们不能把我们的艺术藏品和藏书都搬到那儿。那个地方太小了,而且 壁全部都是玻璃的。我们曾短暂讨论过把它卖掉,可是我们太喜欢它了。最终,我们决定物色第二套公寓──一个用于存放我们生活物品的简单居所。
We had always been fond of an unusual 10-story building on the Upper West Side. It was built in 1915 as a cooperative─housing residences and artists' lofts on opposite sides of the same floors. In some ways the layout had the same spirit as the Carnegie Hall studios. Apartments with double-height living spaces were all taken, but we found a duplex that was 15 feet wide by 28 feet long on the first level and a little larger on the second.
我们一直都喜欢纽约上西区一栋非常独特的10层楼的楼房。它建于1915年,是一栋综合性的大楼,住宅与艺术家的loft公寓位于同一楼层的对面,其布局在某些方面与卡内基音乐厅的那套公寓构思类似。居住空间为两倍层高的公寓已经全部被人买下,不过我们找到了一套首层长28英尺(约合8.5米)、宽15英尺(约合4.6米),第二层则稍稍大些的复式公寓。
