Harlem Towers

The concept for this mixed-use tower in Harlem features an elevated public plaza connected to the 125^th street subway, a commercial plinth level and two residential towers, all atop a through-block base designed to hold commercial and/or institutional space to connect to the community. We designed the tower’s residential components to include plaza level townhomes with private exteriors, residential apartments, as well as a hospitality property with amenity spaces. The building’s design intersperses commercial and residential areas to break up usage blocks and help to foster a sense of community and connection. The façade features a design matrix of translucent and opaque panels and windows that accommodates diverse programming within the floorplate, allowing amenities to be interspersed throughout.
