142 West 19th Street is a seven story condominium building located in the Flatiron district of Manhattan and comprised of 5 floor-thru two-bedroom units and one duplex unit opening out to the building’s rear garden.
The project is located in an area of Manhattan with a strong typological context – narrow masonry loft buildings with highly articulated infill window panels. The exterior design of this building has taken its cues from this recognizable building type with thick stone piers at its party walls containing a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows opening from the main living spaces of each unit.
The material palette of stone metal and glass refer to the historical context but are articulated and expressed through a distinctly modern architectural vocabulary.
With the apartments aimed at the high end of the Manhattan residential market, a great deal of effort was placed on the design of the individual units with particular emphasis on the selection of a rich and harmonious collection of materials with special focus on the design of the kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, hardware and lighting to ensure a consistent and luxurious experience throughout.
Because of the generous depth of each unit, the apartments all feature home offices and the sixth-floor unit has an interior stair leading to a dedicated roof deck area.
