I-BEAM DESIGN + ARCHITECTURE

2068 5th ave - New York, NY

The project is located at 2068, 5th Avenue, in the historic district of Harlem, and was converted from an existing Class B apartment building, to a high end residential building. It is a Brownstown that was gut renovated into three duplex apartments, including a penthouse unit.

Each duplex has two spacious bedrooms with their own bathrooms and ample closets. An extra studio/office off of the main living room is enclosed by a new floor to ceiling glass wall which floods in a soothing blue light into the space.

While maintaining the overall charm of the old construction by exposing the existing brick walls, we have created a sleek modern and pristine environment that is flooded with natural light and enhanced by solid maple wood floors and glossy white kitchen cabinets.

Each unit has at least one functioning fireplace, an interior spiral stair, gray lava stone countertops, GE stainless steel appliances, Kohler bathroom fixtures, translucent Panelite partitions, frameless solid wood doors, Marvin windows and a series of full height double doors to spacious terraces overlooking a lush green backyard. Each unit is equipped with a washer/dryer and a Unico air handler.

There are approximately 6 floors of1200 sf per floor, totaling to 7200sf. With a construction cost of approximately $1.2m, the units each cost about $190/sf and have been estimated to sell for $1000/sf.

show description

The site of this eleven story high residential development project with retail space on the ground floor will be located on East 23rd St, NY. The glass façade incorporates mirrors at varying angles that bring extra light deep into the spaces inside as well as providing an opportunity to view the street outside, from within, connecting the two worlds. This threshold of translucency incorporates glass, mirror and acrylic panels that change color depending on the angle of the sun. The intensity and color of the light inside the apartments vary through out the day creating a unique experience of living in this urban setting.
