Urban Condo

Blue for new

New York, NY

Urban Condo transforms a structurally sound six-story warehouse into twelve contemporary residential units. The original façade, which lacked adequate light and air, is replaced by a modern glass curtain wall. This new design maximizes natural light and creates spacious living areas. To enhance the building’s visibility and integrate it with the vibrant, family-oriented East Harlem, the glass curtain wall is framed by blue glazed ceramic tiles. These tiles not only add liveliness but also echo the patterns of the pre-existing brick structure, preserving a connection to the building’s past.
