••• “A top architect and a prominent retailer are at war over a $9.25 million Tribeca building that they co-own and separately live and work in, according to a lawsuit. Internationally known architect Winka Dubbeldam allegedly duped Stephen Werther, owner ofthe Winkboutique chain, out of nearly 1,000 square feet of the building at 11 Hubert St.—worth about $1 million, Werther says in the Manhattan Civil Court filing. Werther claims that Dubbeldam, an award-winning architect, ‘abused her position of relative power to deceive her client and partner’ when she drew up the plans to divide the building, court papers show. Dubbeldam told The Post that Werther’s claim is nonsense—because he signed and approved everything. Werther works and lives in one part of the building with his wife and two kids, while Dubbeldam lives and works out of another.” —New York Post
