Rising 20 stories tall in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, these side-by-side towers feature 87 condo units and 112 rental units. On the façade, the two towers mirror each other in design, but differentiate themselves through the materiality and color. The light and dark hued design features asymmetrical triangular patterns that all interact differently with daylight and frame each window while animating the static nature of the square elevation. Lightly acid-treated white concrete with hand-painted bronze reveals makes up the condominium tower, whereas a darker concrete is used for the rental tower. The contrasting materials not only delineate the two addresses, but also reduce the perceivable width of the development’s 200-foot-long street elevation. The windows maximize light and air within the residential units, increasing in size up the building to capitalize on the mostly unobstructed downtown views. The tour with DXA Studio’s Wayne Norbeck (Partner and Co-Founder) and Allysa Taylor (Senior Designer) will include a walk-through of the amenity spaces and model apartments with discussion focused on how each space was designed with a keen awareness around health and well-being.
