The design of this 11-story, 75,000 square foot condominium building along the High Line in Chelsea includes commercial space on the ground floor and 26 residential units, featuring two penthouses. The street-level façade is clad in dark blue curved terra-cotta blocks, with the same material used throughout the façade, alternating with bands of floor-to-ceiling glass.
