Using bent glass and a fluid approach to geometry, architect Winka Dubbeldam created a curtain wall with depth, a street front that envelopes space as much as it separates inside from out. Set on the western edge of SoHo, which had retained a gritty industrial demeanor until recently, the building at 497 Greenwich Street injects a rousing dose of 21st-century Modernism while engaging the past. The new structure rises alongside and then extends over its six-story, 19th-century neighbor to the south, drawing the older brick building into an architectural tango. While Now York City developers have been riding a booming residential market over the past several years, almost all of the apartment towers they've built have been numbingly formulaic in terms of floor plans and exterior design. By inserting a new building on the street and incorporating the empty six-story warehouse next door, the architect could create 23 living units and provide space on the ground floor for an art gallery or stores, as well as a small fitness center and meeting room for the residents. Although the curtain wall faces west, laminated glass, UV film, and exterior metal fins reduce the impact of the sun. pubtype: Trade Publication doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Architectural Record is the property of BNP Media and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
