196 Orchard Street

196 Orchard is a work of art gracing the Lower East Side. Offering high-end boutique living spaces from studios to four-bedroom residences, bask in timeless, impeccable design from Magnum Real Estate Group and REEC.

Architecture

To create a truly stand-out development, Magnum and REEC partnered with Ismael Leyva Architects for this project. Renowned for their creative and elegant design solutions, they worked with the absolute best raw materials to make 196 Orchard shine.

The building has been designed from the ground up with a focus on simple, high-quality industrial products that allow the building to effortlessly match the industrial buildings that compose the Lower East Side.

The story starts with a Jet Mist polished granite base before continuing up the two-tone brick façade, complete with hand-laid glazed Spanish bricks on the bottom and black diamond brick on top. Next, comes to the oversized casement windows, letting in huge amounts of light to every single residence. At every turn, you find industrial elements recast with beautiful, modern materials that are sure to stand the test of time.

Residences

The luxury and finesse of the bones of the building continue through the residences. brought to fruition by Incorporated design studio, who stamped every single element with they’re tripartite of successful design: joy utility, and craft.

Inside, this translates into soaring 9-12 feet ceilings, a custom kitchen designed to suit each unique space and fleshed out with Miele appliances, Nero Marquina marble backsplash, Zen Black quartz countertops, and walnut cabinetry. Polished concrete ceilings complete the cool, industrial feel.

The large, and double-paned Low-E insulated casement windows, complete with bronze mullions, let in plenty of light to each residence. The bright space is finished with wide planked, white oak flooring hand-selected by the INC design team.

The luxury and refined design continues through to the bathrooms. Waterworks blackened nickel faucets nod to the industrial design present through the rest of the unit, but Scandinavian style reigns supreme to create a relaxed and comfortable environment.

Walnut vanities offset the Bianco Dolomiti marble showers and Eramosa marble counters and floor for a classic Northern European combination of warm wood and crisp stone.
