The designers of this project drew inspiration from visiting a local bluestone quarry. The design incorporated the natural beauty of the stone and living plants. The building is located in the center of Manhattan’s NoHo East Historic District. As a result, the restrictions and requirements of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Committee needed to be followed.
Bluestone was the material of choice, not only for it’s versatility but also because it met the criteria of the Preservation Committee. Bluestone was used for the facade of this 7 story building and also in the interior of each of the 7 full-floor residences.
