40 Bond StreetNew York, New York

  • Located in Manhattan’s NoHo District on cobble-stoned Bond Street
  • Creates a ten-story, 90,000 sf luxury residential building in the center of one of the city’s most iconic downtown neighborhoods
  • Provides 27 condominium units, four through-building duplex townhouses, and a unique penthouse structure surrounded by a landscaped roof garden
  • The project strives to blur the distinction between residential and hotel living, to create a new genre of urban living
  • Conceptually, the structural elements appear to be dipped in molten glass
  • The curved luminescent coating over the entire structure creates the illusion of a monolithic core that is lit from within
  • The precise detailing of the all-glass façade required the structure be designed to more stringent tolerances than are found on typical projects
  • The penthouse structure rises nearly twenty feet above the main roofline
  • Fronting the building is a 22-foot high, 140-foot long cast aluminum gate
  • The gate’s design is derivative of the graffiti that originally adorned the site
  • The use of this motif rethreads the neighborhood’s contextualism into the design
