The building program calls for over three hundred units across a variety of apartment types. The modules for kitchens and baths were designed to accommodate the particular conditions in each unit. This exercise was especially challenging as the pre-existing industrial shell has a substantial column grid that resulted from the non-standard conditions in the units. The architects worked directly with kitchen and bath vendors to accomplish design goals in the most economical fashion. Understanding vendors’ fabrication constraints and designing around those, while standardizing as much as possible, has achieved an apparently luxurious design aesthetic on a tight per unit budget.

In the public spaces Slade Architecture strove to create a design that incorporates the elegant industrial shell of the existing building shell while customizing it to its next phase as a residential building. The characteristic concrete shell is the largest presence. The intrinsic appeal and distinguishing characteristic of this building will ultimately be the marriage of modern design with industrial heritage. In that spirit, the junction of concrete with new material introduction is articulated clearly, allowing the occupant to appreciate and understand both conditions. The extensive public amenity program includes a lobby, several lounges, game areas, gym, children’s room, flexible conference space and kitchenette.
