Project Description
Located in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan, 160 East 22nd Street is a 21-story, 84-unit condominium apartment building. In addition to luxury residences, the building includes ground loor retail space. The design is based on a modern interpretation of the elegant and timeless classic pre-war apartment buildings in the neigh-borhood. The limestone clad building’s massing is sculpted to incorporate a 24’ cantilever, and punctuated with alternating deep set fenestration pattern.
As with the exterior design, the interior is comprised of classical proportions and contemporary character. A well-balanced variation of noble materials and details throughout the building creates a sleek style with a touch of luxury vintage, all executed by local craftsmen.
Overall, 160 East 22nd Street’s design aims to blend classic contemporary lines with historic contextual influ-ences, resolving complex vernacular New York City regulations, while meeting the fine aesthetic and pragmatic needs of its end users.
