No Standard, New York

no stndrd, new york

a creative incubator for global nomads

The Standard Hotel, reimagined and transformed into a vibrant, dynamic hub for global nomads who value transience over permanence. Repurposed to inspire the cross-pollination of ideas, it serves as a temporary home for those in a perpetual state of transition.

Designed to generate serendipitous interactions, it exists to connect people of different social classes and histories.

Unified within the walls of the No Standard, if only for a brief moment..

”the grid is, above all, a conceptual speculation.

In spite of its apparent neutrality, it implies an intellectual program for the island: in its indifference to topography, to what exists, it claims the superiority over reality.”

the existing standard hotel

”The Standard Hotel,

when it existed, was notorious.

It was the epicenter of the divide in the world, the people who were inside, and the people who were outside, looking in.

The Standard Hotel was not for everybody.

It was exclusive. You could see through the transparent glass facade, barely getting a

the story of no stndrd

“New York, the city of immigrants.

One of the most diverse and populous cities in the world. I had finally reached my destination. The Statue of Liberty reminded me of New York as the original Sanctuary City, promising shelter for immigrants.

A hub of creativity, finance and inventions.

New York, a place I wished to be part of.

My home for the next couple of months was the No Standard in the Meatpacking District, New York. There was something strange about the No Standard...

You could see traces of an old structure,

no stndrd from the high line

no stndrd from street level

“I started to stroll down to the

meatpacking market on ground level for my morning coffee. There were always new things tested out in the lab bar.

One morning, Paul, one of the other residents, asked me to taste his new

“fennel matcha latte”. It tasted horrible.

He asked if I wanted to try the new beer from the micro-brewery, but I thought I had enough taste adventure for one day.

I told him I would meet him there again tomorrow.”

“I wondered about the name, No Standard. Because life inside the No Standard was anything but standard.

It was a dynamic, vibrant place to be.

Life here seemed to go on in a continuous sequence;

people working, living, testing new ideas, or hanging out together in the lounges, restaurant, workshop kitchen or lab bar. I had rented one of the cheaper hotel rooms, but quickly discovered there were also studio and roomie apartments.

My favorite place quickly became one of the garden lounges, giving some momentary relief to the wonderful,

but exhausting experience to be a newborn New Yorker.”

The longer I stayed, the more I realised there was an incredible cross-pollination of people of all ages and histories, inhabiting the different spaces together.

The No Standard seemed to combine two atmospheres: an innovative, optimistic chaos, and at the same time the feeling of a big, open-minded family.

It was home for all of us, if only transitory.

But we were unified within the walls of No Standard, if only for a brief moment.
