Built on the site of a former Bronx church, this LEED Gold 112 unit building is a mix of supportive and affordable housing. The design was inspired by the notion that a house of worship is a beacon of light in its community. From that idea came 12 floors of large, fully glazed elevator lobbies which offer spectacular views by day and then become a glowing tower at night.
The placement of this south facing feature was an inclusive way to provide beautiful amenity spaces for residents that share the city vista, and at the same time supply light to the adjacent park and street corners in the evening.
Rock formations uncovered during construction were incorporated into the landscape at the front of the property providing a visual association with the park and a connection to the area’s natural environment. They also act as an organic complement to the straight lines and right angles of the building that rises above.
