It has become cliche to breathlessly cite the dramatic transformation of Manhattan's Lower East Side. So instead we'll simply take calm note of this 24 unit residential development now going up at 115-119 Norfolk. Designed by the firm responsible for the nearby Hotel on Rivington (Grzywinski Pons Architects), this glass fronted apartment house will have a mix of 1 and 2-bedroom units with two 3-bedroom duplex penthouses. Ground floor units will have private yards. A common roof garden (above) will have a small lap pool. Two more renderings appear after the jump.
The curtain wall above appears almost as a scrim behind which an off-center atrium rises at an angle.
