Entry Description

The Suffolk is a new 30-story residential building located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. To be authentically responsive to the neighborhood’s rich cultural and social kaleidoscope, our approach was informed by an engaged kind of storytelling. Using complexity and layering as design tools, we sought to mirror the urban surroundings’ dense historical and architectural palimpsest. The result is a unique series of spaces that are nonetheless linked to the historical continuum of the LES.
