You’ll notice that instead of keeping…
The converted locker rooms of the first YMCA in the United States ( see more here… ), Cindy Gallop’s “Black Apartment” was designed by New York-based creative agency “The Apartment.” Highly ornate, down to the last detail, this is an amazing retrofit that seems to have deliberately retained a lot of the general layout used by the youth group, and
