Having opened late 2020, New York City’s first tower designed by a French female architect only has 8 residences left for sale of the original 170.
Greenwich West, located at 110 Charlton, was designed by Françoise Raynaud, founder of Paris-based studio Loci Anima. “There are few women building towers in New York and few women building in France, too,” she says in a Forbes article.
The 30-story building features large casement-style windows framed by pewter-glazed brick borders. The building evokes an Art Deco feel with rounded corners, and the façade was designed to be very specifically New York in feel.
Inside, a double-height lobby is accessed by a grand marble staircase. The project’s materiality was very important to the design, from the curved hand-plastered interior walls to a sculptural fireplace lounge to a courtyard with an 18-foot vertical garden.
