DBPA's design for an 11-story ground-up residential building in the NoHo
area of New York City features a facade of flamed charcoal-grey granite
with large glass windows that hover above the street. Canted bay windows
projecting from the taut facade provide a play of shadows on the granite
throughout the course of a day. A structurally-glazed glass and zinc curtain-wall
at the street-level and setback provides a delicate juxtaposition for the
hovering stone.
The two-bedroom apartments include balconies at the rear, and a gym and
double-height pool with a sensually curving wood ceiling that reaches up
to windows on the street. The elegant interiors of wide-board walnut floors,
marble counters, glass tiles, and teak wall-panels provide a soft contrast
to the taut exterior.
