342 W 53RD ST
Manhattan

The high-end mixed-use building incorporates a massing of two bold, interlocking cubic forms. The first is a framed steel-and-glass box that provides stunning views of the city with exceptional natural light pouring into the open living spaces. The second is a brick rain screen facade facing the bustling 8th Avenue. The design makes use of its unique corner location as ground-floor commercial spaces enjoy high visibility on the busy avenue while residents upstairs enter through a private entrance on the quieter, picturesque 18th Street. The fourth-floor apartments include private terraces, open floor plans, and custom kitchens and bathrooms.
