Frances Marcellin

I’m a freelance journalist (bylines in The Telegraph, New Scientist, the Standard etc) and content agency owner (www.pieceboutique.com) pivoting into illustration. Drawing obsessively as a child, I’m currently studying a BA (Hons) Illustration with the OCA and pivoting home to my creative roots and into illustration. If you think I can help you illustrate your project please do get in touch at frances@francesmarcellin.com – thank you.

Frances Marcellin From Rubik’s To Riches is a mock-up for an article in The New Yorker entitled: Can Turning Office Towers into Apartments Save Downtowns? With office buildings only 50% full, property developer Nathan Berman has already transformed eight buildings in FiDi, Manhattan’s financial district in New York. In partnership with architect John Cetra Berman is converting 55 Broad comparing “the effort to extract as much residential space as possible out of such buildings to solving a Rubik’s Cube”. It’s at this moment an illustration started to form in my mind, compounded by the reference to 55 Broad as a “three-tiered wedding cake”.

Ref: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/05/06/can-turning-office-towers-into-apartments-save-downtownsThis illustration is my mock-up for an editorial piece in The New Yorker by D T Max, entitled Can Turning Office Towers into Apartments Save Downtowns? It focuses on FiDi, Manhattan’s financial district in New York, and how property developer Nathan Berman is buying up office buildings – nationwide they are “only 50% full” – and transforming them into residential apartments. So far he’s converted eight in the area.
Partnering with architect John Cetra, the writer pays particular attention to a building on 55 Broad and how its 400,000-sq-ft of office space is being gutted, reformed into one-bed or studio apartments, targeting the young, generating a potential annual rental income of $30 million.
When discussing his methods, he described “the effort to extract as much residential space as possible out of such buildings to solving a Rubik’s Cube”. It’s at this moment an illustration started to form in my mind. View FolioArchitectureBusinessPeopleAcrylicPen and InkWatercolourEditorial
