ArchitectureArchitecture
A joint project by SHoP Architects, SLCE Architects, and DXA Studio, 242 Broome stands to be one of the most sought after residences in the city.
The building pays homage to the Lower East Side’s industrial past with big windows and soaring ceilings. Designed to capture every ounce of light and openness possible, the higher floors appear to twist west to capture the setting sun (not to mention dramatic vistas). SHoP offsets this design with champagne-colored anodized aluminum panels to ensure a refined modern look that still fits the profile of the neighborhood.
Topping out at 14 stories, 242 promises to be a stunning addition to the L.E.S. skyline.

Each of the 55 residences is an open-plan design with soaring 10-foot ceilings.
They have all been finished with the utmost detail by DXA Studios, using classic materials in a modern way for a sleek look that is sure to stand the test of time. Driven by the large windows and excess natural light present throughout the building, the detailing is refined and elegant, stripped back to basics to let the natural materials shine.
