The brand new new building's garden, The Close, expands to the west of 9th Avenue. The Close features wrought iron benches, stone footpaths, crocuses, daffodils, tulips, and wisteria, and as you can see above, the effect is a serene escape from the surrounding bustle of the city that never sleeps.<br /><br />Chelsea Enclave, developed by The Brodsky Organization, has 1-4 bedroom residences (including 9 penthouses) from $1.4 to $12 million. The still-available $6.2 million penthouse has 4 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, a powder room, a breakfast room, and a dining alcove totaling 3,176 square feet with views of the North, South, and West. <br /><br />See our gallery below for a look inside these most-wanted living spaces. <br />%Gallery-34599%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/10/16/a-secret-garden-and-luxury-residences-in-chelsea/">A Secret Garden (and Luxury Residences) in Chelsea</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:02:00 EST.

Planters include an avant-garde exotic plant arrangement that is personally couriered to its destination. The company also offers custom designs in addition to on-site consults and maintenance. Reminiscent of Architectural Pottery's vintage Cal-modern pieces, Urban Nature's collection seems to do exactly what its name implies: create a corner of life in an otherwise sterile urban landscape.<br /><br />Titanium planters start at $50,000, while the platinum version will cost $250,000 and up, making these precious metals indeed. Shown above is Urban Nature's Minimalist Bowl, which retails at a more reasonable $1,395.

In other words, while looking at it made us want to rush outside and start planting things, it also made us despair of ever creating anything one tenth as attractive as the private paradises portrayed between its covers. Much better, we feel, to simply sit back, <a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/05/02/stirrings-of-spring/">mix a drink</a>, read the damned book and let someone else do the digging, pruning, weeding and whatnot. But we digress. <br /><br /> Even the most lavish gardens in these pages displaying "the highest standards of horticultural excellence" are founded on simplicity, the book assures us: "Stripped down to their bare essentials, they are like a well-cut couturier's gown - nothing but an utterly simple response to the unadorned landscape or the naked human body they are designed to fit." The incredible <a href="http://www.villadeste.it/cgi/index.asp">Villa d'Este</a> in Lake Como, Italy (where part of <a href=" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381061/"><em>Casino Royale</em></a> was filmed) pictured on the cover, with its elegant, elaborate parterres doesn't exactly scream simplicity to us, but we could stare at it all day.

That's a savings of 11% of the final price of the item plus an additional savings of $50 per item for the chaises in this collection.

We all know the benefits of having indoor plants: cleaner air, increased humidity, aesthetic appeal...so why stop at a few when you could do a whole green wall! These innovative planters feature a hinged panel that cleverly hides the water reserves, and neatly designed planting grids that allow you to easily plan your indoor garden. I <strong><em>love </em></strong>these but I'm not sure hanging them directly behind the couch is the best idea, guests don't usually like leaves in their hair!

It's kind of a "tent meets gazebo" contraption, plus a healthy dose of contemporary styling. Designed as a large sphere made up of 10 individual half circles, it's advertised as not only a lounging area but also a dining and a sleeping area -- and besides offering a comfortable outdoor living space it's sure to catch the eye of your neighbors. &pound;6850<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/12/rotating-sphere-lounger/">Rotating Sphere Lounger</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:02:00 EST.

If that's so, then spending nearly $3,000 for what is essentially a tent is a bargain. If not, your neighbors will just be astonished to discover that you just bought a <a href="http://www.dhlovelife.com/v2/cart/product_details.php?Item_Quantity_=35">$2,892 tipi</a>. (It's not "teepee" anymore, by the way.)<br /><br />This lovely outdoor abode is 24' in diameter and, according to lovelifegoods, it will withstand tough weather conditions. The product info is sparse, so I can't say weather or not the cool bed and rocking chair are included. It <em>does</em> come with a rain liner though. Maybe it's just a really cheap house, in which case this post doesn't belong on Luxist at all ...<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/12/17/tipi-takes-true-luxury-back-300-years/">Tipi takes true luxury back 300 years</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:55:00 EST.

An outdoor alternative is the beautiful <a href="http://gardentelescopes.com/">Porter Garden Telescope</a> from Telescopes of Vermont. The cast bronze reflecting telescope is a bit of astronomical history, it was designed in the 1920s by astronomer and scientist Russell W. Porter. The telescope has a working sundial and the mirror and eyepieces of the telescope can be removed and stored in a custom mahogany box so the telescope can stay outside all year long. Each one is individually cast, hand-finished bronze and stand 70" overall including the marble pedestal. It sells for $59,000.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/11/17/porter-garden-telescope/">Porter Garden Telescope</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:02:00 EST.

The small company specializes in garden pots, birdbaths, statues and pedestals cast in resin stone and based on antique designs. The designs are all weather resistant. One of my favorites is this Parthenon plaque container. The designs are copies of a frieze on the west side of the Parthenon and were made before the practice of taking impressions of the building was banned. <a href="http://www.pennoyernewman.com/product/010.html">This pot measures 20"H X 26"W X 26"D and sells for $750.</a><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/08/22/pennoyer-newman-parthenon-pot/">Pennoyer Newman Parthenon Pot</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 22 Aug 2007 12:02:00 EST.

In the Sling by Ting, you can satisfy your need for relaxation and feel confident that at least at that very moment, you are part of the solution, not the problem.

Enter the <a href="http://www.plushpod.com/item_844.php">Botanist Cocktail Table</a>, a funky and feminine alternative to your standard outdoor table. Made from industrial grade aluminum, the piece is powder-coated and outdoor ready. The botanical graphics are cut from the metal using a water jet process which leaves the edges smooth. Available in five finishes, including a beautiful blue, the tables are lightweight, yet tough enough to withstand the elements. If you like the look and want to bring it inside, the table is also available in a wood veneer. <a href="http://www.plushpod.com/item_844.php">$1920</a> as shown.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/04/botanist-cocktail-table/">Botanist Cocktail Table</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 04 Jul 2007 10:02:00 EST.

This freestanding fiberglass and metal planter clearly shows his affinity for the steep angles of the ancient triangle, while giving a nod to modernism with the brightly hued finish. At 60" tall and 58" wide, a small tree would fit nicely in the center, with plenty of room for colorful accents in the smaller recesses. <a href="http://www.homeportfolio.com/catalog/Product.jhtml?superCatId=16&amp;selected_anId=&amp;prodId=147568">$10,000</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/03/ramzix-planter-by-divinities/">Ramzix Planter by Divinities</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 03 Jul 2007 10:02:00 EST.

I'm not sure if it's the fact that it gives the feeling of standing under a waterfall in the tropics or the sheer organic simplicity of the design, but I want one. Standing over 7 feet tall, the teak back panel and base platform is accented only by the single cross-style handle. Add in the sheet of cool water cascading down when the shower is in use and I think it's almost pretty enough to just be appreciated as a water feature, whether you use it to clean off and cool down or not.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/06/26/the-waterfall-shower/">The Waterfall Shower</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 26 Jun 2007 15:03:00 EST.

In cities especially, where the green would be most prized amidst the concrete and tile, is where plants and flowers are the hardest to grow, right? Maybe not.<br /><br />Using a system that allows plants to grow without any soil, <a href="http://www.verticalgardenpatrickblanc.com/">The Vertical Garden</a> by Patrick Blanc allows for natural living beauty in the otherwise most uninhabitable of places: the very walls of buildings, indoors or out. Watering and fertilization are automatic, so it's almost completely hassle free. Patrick Blanc has created customized living walls all over the world.<br /><br />I wonder how my landlord would feel if I had something like this installed in my apartment?<br /><br />Via <a href="http://www.wists.com/cribcandy/d8fb655034774752424b92d16c1c5916">CribCandy</a><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/05/28/the-patrick-blanc-vertical-garden/">The Patrick Blanc Vertical Garden</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Mon, 28 May 2007 12:03:00 EST.
