A NEW 1014

LOGO

1014 Fifth Avenue is a magnificent building in the BeauxArts tradition. It stands prominently between much larger buildings to the north and south. The challenge, as we see it, is to elegantly solve the puzzle of preserving and enhancing the historic qualities of the interior spaces while satisfying the ambitious program of 1014. While adhering to current building codes and egress and ADA requirements, the seamless resolution of original and contemporary architecture in the building will achieve both public and private spaces that maintain the focus on the exchange of ideas, the formation of transatlantic relationships, and deep thinking.

The new 1014 Fifth Avenue will provide the perfect setting to approach some of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing our interconnected world. Grounded in the past and forward-facing in its capabilities, personal in scale but global in ambition, it will offer a platform for the next generation of

thought leaders working to build a more just and sustainable future.

Given the constraints of the building and its site, every decision and detail must be scrupulously considered. The success of the project relies on maximizing each space for multiple functions without compromising the finely crafted details, well-proportioned spaces, and turn-of-the-century materials that make the building unique. This requires a precise and sensitive approach to existing conditions paired with future-forward strategies for the building’s performance and capabilities, both in terms of environmental impact and functionality for end users.

Concept Design

A flow is created between original and new architecture from the front to the back of the building. On the exterior,

the landmarked front façade will be preserved; the addition of Schinkel park benches, however, will signal the public nature of the building and serve as an invitation for gathering and discourse. The rear façade will be refined: essentially preserving the brick façade on Floors 1 and 2 and streamlining it on floors above, utilizing exterior plaster with limestone details. Throughout the building, front rooms will feature their historic wood double-hung and casement windows and ornamental casings. The rear rooms, connected to the new rear façade, the terraces and garden, will take on a more modern feel with steel doors and casement windows and minimal detailing. Material selections reinforce the relationship, but not mimicry, between original and contemporary, detailed further on Board #3. The stair, with a glazed wall to the hallways on Floors 4 through 6, visually ties the residences together.

MATERIAL AND CIRCULATION STRATEGIES Proposed interventions are guided by the building itself: maintaining the central stair up to the third floor; reinforcing an axial east-west center hall configuration; and preserving the generous scale of the rooms, including the Auditorium and Multifunction Room as well as the front residences on Floors 4 through 6. The existing material palette has inspired the selection of finishes, in some cases extending original materials into the newly configured areas, thus maintaining continuity between the past and future of the building. The Community Hall flooring will be the same Giallo Sienna marble as the existing Lobby but laid in a running bond pattern with a honed finish. This material extends into the garden before transitioning to a fine gravel with local stone paving. Adding a new laylight above the central stair is another example of this approach. The laylight credibly mimics daylight, providing a new functional feature to the experience of the historic stair in the form of an architectural detail that appears to have always been there. This approach to lighting the

stair will extend to the lighting strategy throughout. Utilizing the latest LED technology, artificial light sources can be discreet and color-calibrated to balance with natural daylight sources. Glazing for exterior windows will be selected to maximize visible light transmission, while at the same time providing optimal thermal performance.

Careful consideration of noise and spatial acoustics will minimize distractions in both the public and private spaces of the building.

Glazing and window systems facing Fifth Avenue will consider noise intrusion for all floors, and specifically for residential floors where visitors may not be accustomed to traffic noise. Sound separation will be ensured between program areas to allow for simultaneous activity and events, and communication clarity in rooms for speech will be achieved by applying sound-absorbing finishes respectful of the historic interior, such as sound-absorbing drapes and acoustical plaster finishes.

The proposed egress strategy provides two means of egress from all occupiable floors and one means of egress from the sub-cellar. The east exit route (right image, in blue) connects all floors with a continuous, fire-rated stair.

A rated hall in the cellar connects the stair to the garden, and ultimately to a right-of-way through a neighboring property. The west exit route connects Floors 3-6 with a fire-rated stair (in red). This stair transfers to the historic stair (in yellow) at the 3rd floor and leaves the building via the historic lobby.

ALTERNATE EGRESS STRATEGY 1 If an egress agreement is not secured with any of the neighbors, the egress design will be adapted to provide two means of egress at the front of the building, as shown in Alternate Egress Strategy 1 (right image). The east exit route will be redirected at the cellar level to a rated-stair that ascends to the first floor in the existing gate-keeper room and leaves the building through the entry vestibule (in green), allowing the historical facade to remain unchanged. With Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, this exit route could instead leave the building through a new submerged exterior stair (in olive). The original, 1906 construction drawings show a stair in this orientation, and would support this strategy in the Landmarks review process.

BUILDING SYSTEMS STRATEGIES Given the ambitious nature of 1014’s mission, it is necessary that the building itself model a path to a healthy, more equitable future. Energy modeling will be utilized to optimize the highperformance building envelope and to select the appropriate mechanical and electrical systems with the intent of reducing overall carbon emissions and energy usage.

Mechanical systems will be selected to meet the energy efficiency requirements of the Climate Protection Program 2030 with the goal of reducing energy demands such that the proposed systems will not exceed 55% of the minimum energy requirements of a new building in Germany. Multiple systems will be reviewed, including high efficiency condensing boiler systems, variable refrigerant flow systems, and air to water heat pump systems, and the optimal system will be selected to meet these stringent requirements. The selected system will be optimized via modeling various energy conservation measures including energy recovery, demand-controlled ventilation, envelope improvements individual space temperature controls, and daylighting. Additional sustainable design features such as storm water reclamation and

a high-performance envelope will be analyzed for incorporation into the project.

Systems will also be selected to meet the requirements of New York City’s Local Law 97, which requires buildings to reduce carbon emissions 40% by 2030 from a 2005 baseline, and the overall intent of the German Government for the buildings The charts below show the energy use intensity and carbon use intensity simulated for the three preliminary systems that will be to be carbon neutral by 2050. The chart below illustrates the reviewed for 1014 Fifth Avenue. Additional system types can be effect of cleaning the electrical grid over time for the 1014 reviewed as the project progresses. These systems were compared Fifth Avenue simulation with air to water heat pump system. It with a German code minimum building (new, non-residential) is anticipated that the electric grid serving New York City will keep getting cleaner and cleaner as more renewable energy that was simulated using the parameters listed in Appendix 2 of the Buildings Energy Act (GEG). Preliminary analysis performed capacity is added and old fossil fuel fired plants serving the grid using a block load energy model indicates that the 1014 Fifth are decommissioned. The effect of a cleaner grid on 1014 Fifth Avenue simulation with air to water heat pump system will Avenue simulation with air to water heat pump system would be a result in only 53% energy consumption of the code minimum continuously improving carbon emissions performance (reducing building (EUI of 18.5 kBtu/SF-Yr v/s EUI of 34.9 kBtu/SF-Yr for carbon emissions), until the building gets very close to a carbon code minimum building), or 2% improved performance over neutral target by year 2050. It should also be noted that the 1014 Fifth Avenue preliminary building simulation results in a building EnergieeffizienzgebäudeBund55 (EGB55) building. The air to water heat pump simulation also indicated that the proposed that complies with Local Law 97, with no anticipated penalties for system would result in over 36% reduced carbon emissions exceeding the emissions during any of the compliance periods. compared to a code minimum building.

CONNECTION TO NATURE: Studies have proven the benefit that access to nature has on our health and well-being; the “valley forest” of the garden and the planted pergolas on the terraces will create a strong indoor-outdoor connection, enhancing the experience of both public programing and the Fellows’ residencies.
