Architecture studio ODA<\/a> drew upon art deco and Bauhaus styles while conceiving The Harper residential building<\/a>, which features bevelled limestone<\/a> cladding and various setbacks and protrusions.<\/p>\n

Located on Manhattan’<\/a>s Upper East Side neighbourhood, the building rises 21 levels and contains a total of 63 residences. Units come with two to four bedrooms.<\/p>\n

\"TheODA has completed the Harper condo building in the Upper East Side<\/p>\n

Rather than a solid flat box, local studio ODA<\/a> designed a building with a sculpted facade and areas cut away to form setbacks. Along one side, a protrusion made up of window boxes cantilevers over a neighbouring brick building.<\/p>\n

The cladding is made of limestone, which lends “a sense of permanence and refinement”, the team said. Some of the stone panels are fluted, which produces a sculptural effect.<\/p>\n

\"TheIt was informed by Art Deco and Bauhaus styles<\/p>\n

The building also features large stretches of glass that bring in daylight and frame views across the area.<\/p>\n

“Reflecting on the neighbourhood’s architectural heritage, the facade is crafted from chamfered limestone and generously scaled floor-to-ceiling windows that recall the sophistication of art deco and the clarity of Bauhaus design,” the team said.<\/p>\n

The art deco theme is carried indoors, where it informed the design of a stone reception desk and various pieces of hardware, such as drawer pulls.<\/p>\n

The residences were envisioned as “calm, light-filled spaces”. Finishes include wide-plank white oak<\/a> flooring and several types of stone, such as marble, limestone and quartzite.<\/p>\n

Many of the units feature private balconies or terraces. Select penthouses offer rooftop terraces with jacuzzis.<\/p>\n

The building also has two communal terraces, which are fitted with outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and televisions. These elevated outdoor spaces provide panoramic views of the city.<\/p>\n

\"TheIt pulls from the architectural language of the surrounding neighbourhood<\/p>\n

Additional amenities for tenants include a fitness centre, a music studio, a game lounge, a pet spa, and private storage. There are also art and playrooms for children.<\/p>\n

Other New York City projects by ODA include a Brooklyn residential building<\/a> composed of irregularly stacked concrete boxes, and the conversion of a former sugar refinery into an office building<\/a> with a sparkly glass facade.<\/p>\n

The studio has designed a supertall skyscraper in Manhattan<\/a> with the firm SLCE, which is currently under construction. It features a spiralling torch as its crown.<\/p>\n
