The M2 at 124 Park Avenue provides an exemplar for contemporary residential construction in Hoboken by respecting its urban and environmental context through an expression of modern design.
As the first LEED Platinum-rated condominium building in New Jersey, the M2 utilizes a variety of positive environmental features, including the use of geothermal technology, energy recovery ventilator units, a storm water retention tank, and roof-mounted solar panels. Additionally, electric car charging stations are provided for occupants and outdoor space is accessible for each of the building’s ten units. This commitment to green design extends beyond the building’s envelope, though, to its relationship to the urban fabric. Previously occupied by three atypical single-family buildings with long driveways, the M2 restores city density and street frontage while providing a setback for light and street-level gardens. The streetscape is further enhanced through heated sidewalks and the addition of new street trees.
Being the width of three typical city lots, the scale of the building was problematic. This width, however, is reduced visually by mirroring traditional Hoboken typology with stripped-down brick blocks on its north and south ends. From these anchors, the floor plates from each side reach toward the street and each other, interlocking and intersecting as the building dissolves from solid masonry to metal and glass. In this open center, the vertical planes of the façade slip behind one another, creating incidental spaces that connect the interior and exterior. Here, balconies extend living space, while alcoves and overhangs provide sun-shading and add emphasis to the main entry. This muscular dynamic between the different segments of the façade is further accented by the addition of channel glass, which ties together the horizontal layers of the composition and connects back to the ground along the first floor.
