The NY Post reports on a new show on Netflix called Your Place or Mine with Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon where “best friends and total opposites Debbie and Peter swap homes for a week, they get a peek into each other’s lives that could open the door to love”. Ashton Kutcher lives in the Two Trees building 60 Water Street in DUMBO in the show.
Bill Arnold, the film’s production designer, said of 60 Water, “[It] was picked after much investigation of Dumbo’s filming restrictions. Many places are off-limits to filming because of the amount of filming and tourism impacting the area. We initially wanted to shoot Peter’s apartment building exterior somewhere on Washington Street with the iconic Manhattan Bridge view. We approached several Washington Street buildings but were turned down … 60 Water was then pursued because of the street views at the lobby entrance and the views from the building looking out to the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge.”
The main character’s sleek bachelor pad has the floor-to-ceiling windows and private terrace of 60 Water, but the apartment’s interior seems to be mixed with some touches from One John Street a few blocks away. Read more here.
