150 Rivington

Curtains in and out

New York, NY

150 Rivington negotiates the desire for openness and views with the domestic need for enclosure and protection. Maximizing its corner location—the former Streit’s Matzo factory on the Lower East Side—the building features 45 condominiums designed to meet the needs of young professionals and small families. The façade’s floor-to-ceiling curtain wall provides light and views, while syncopated opaque panels, cast with a billowing profile reminiscent of fabric curtains, introduce uncommon depth and texture to a tightly detailed and proportioned skin, strategically crafted to ensure privacy on the inside.
