Project Description
This new 270-room hotel in Soho, New York is a renovation and addition to an existing 12-story manufacturing building. The building envelope and floor plates are modified within the zoning regulations to allow for 25 floors of hotel rooms with views up and down the island of Manhattan.
The facade of the building consists of a window wall system with a custom silk-screened ceramic frit pattern. The frit produces a “veil”over the facade, blurring the distinction between bands of horizontal and vertical spandrel glass and vision glass.
Responsibilities included zoning analysis, overall building schematic design & design development, coordination with all consultants, facade construction documents, shop drawing review & coordination with European window vendors.
