GLUCK+

Metropolis MagazineDecember 6, 2022

With a unique combination of architecture and construction expertise, GLUCK+ brings top-quality design to non-profits and public institutions in Northern Manhattan and the Bronx… “The intention was to find enough space to be able to do our work at a reasonable cost and also to be able to integrate ourselves into the community,” says Gluck. It’s safe to say they’ve pulled it off. Since coming here—according to its internal tally—the firm has worked on more than 20 projects in Harlem, six in The Bronx, and four in Washington Heights. Most have been public-enhancing projects like schools, recreation centers, playgrounds, and housing…There has also been some upscale housing, university facilities, and offices—like the new Malt House, a textured and glazed office and cultural space built into and around an early twentieth century warehouse, and 145 Central Park North, a rhythmic, highly articulated tower edging Central Park. But regardless of the type of work, the goal has been about enhancing what’s around them.
