THE HUBERT CONDOS

Historic design combined with modern innovation make The Hubert one of the most striking new towers in the Tribeca West Historic District. Elements like a cast stone base, vertical brick piers, minimal brick spandrels and thin-pro le metal sash windows speak the industrial language of the neighborhood. Set-backs beginning on the fth oor allow a two-story “crown” to emerge and create a subtle modern facade. Two distinctly contemporary townhouses knit the block together while allowing the tower to stand independently.

RIVERDALE HOUSE

Built in 1859 and renovated and expanded by Frederick Clarke Withers in 1881, this historic residence suffered a number of ill-conceived alterations over the years. When new owners purchased the house in 2002, they hired BKSK Architects to restore it to its greatest period, that of Withers. A massive restoration revealed many original elements, which were preserved and incorporated into the new design. Found elements that were too damaged to use were meticulously reproduced. The result is an historic restoration that returns the residence, inside and out, to a High Victorian Gothic style.
