Welcome to 6C, a Scandinavian dreamscape in the Dimes Square neighborhood's most iconic pre-war condominium, The Forward Building. Renovated to perfection in 2018 by Swedish architect Solveig Fernlund, this enormous 1 BR/2 BA is a study in warm minimalism and elegant restraint, and easily convertible to a spacious 2 BR/2 BA.
