Seven stacked urban villas sit behind a translucent stone-and-glass facade that mediates between Tribeca's warehouses, historic buildings and newer homes.
The story
The 32,500 sq ft condominium is arranged as seven distinct villas, including triplexes, duplexes, full-floor lofts and a penthouse. Double- and triple-height volumes, deep terraces and roof decks extend the homes beyond their internal floorplates.
Its pixelated facade combines untreated translucent stone and glass, filtering daylight while unifying the varied scales of the landmark district. The envelope, terraces and dual exposures contribute insulation, natural light, ventilation and a strong street presence without copying the surrounding masonry.
