Perhaps the greatest challenge this project presented was the architecturally prescriptive nature of its setting in New York City. The RMJM team devoted a great deal of time to understanding and transforming the building resolutions so as to create an envelope that both satisfies certain civic obligations and communicates a design attitude inspired by the project’s role as a gateway into Harlem.
This residential tower contains approximately 45 apartments as well as a commercial ground floor and parking facilities. The plan carefully integrates the design into the surrounding fabric of the community while its height enables the beacon-like tower to herald its place in the community across the greater cityscape.
