64 University Place

Situated in Greenwich Village between the cultural hubs of Washington Square and Union Square Parks, 64 University Place pays homage to the historic Revival-style buildings of the neighborhood while offering a distinguishing, contemporary design.

The 11-story residential building responds to its surrounding context in scale, materiality, and texture. Following the character of neighboring buildings, 64 University Place continues the street wall, gently stepping back at the upper floors as it reaches its full height, providing terraces for residents. The building’s façade features a grid of five bays defined by pilasters and arched windows, articulated in hand-laid brick masonry, creating fluency to the adjacent building façades. Arched windows present a modern design aesthetic while reminiscing the traditional vocabulary of the neighborhood, and offer residents an abundance of natural light as well as sweeping views of the historic thoroughfare.

The ground floor includes retail and public gallery space, and residents can enjoy gym and sauna amenities along with a reservable event space facing the landscaped interior courtyard. Within the twenty-eight apartments, a rich yet understated materiality of textured plaster walls, timber paneling, stone floors, marble bathrooms, and crafted wood cabinetry achieves a luxurious, minimalist aesthetic that delivers residents to a calm and serene respite.
