Project year: 2003

Location: Tribeca, NYC

Area: 9-story, 92,000 square foot

It is a residential building, designed as a contemporary homage to the elegant loft structures of the Tribeca Historic District. It occupies a long-vacant site facing the Holland Tunnel clearing, and takes advantage of that openness and light with its industrial-scale The design was praised by the Landmarks Preservation Commission as sensitive to the neighboring buildings, and is now much admired as a handsome and well-detailed addition to the already rich historic context.
