Wellness, Beauty, Form and Function.”
John Roe | Developer
Richly layered and crafted, the building’s Columbus Avenue facade draws inspiration from its neighbors in the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District. BKSK Architects reinterpreted the artistry of 19th and early 20th century masonry landmarks with surfaces of velvety redbrick and fins of Italian-made terra-cotta.
BKSK designed the baguette-shaped terra-cotta fins to reduce incoming heat in the open kitchen-living-dining room’s expansive windows in summer, while allowing the winter sun’s rays to warm the interiors. The artisans of Italian manufacturer Sannini spent more than two years fine-tuning the distinctive iron-spot finish on the finely crafted fins and other unique custom profiles.
Charlotte of the Upper West Side is a sanctuary of wellness and sustainability in the heart of a beloved and historic Upper West Side neighborhood. Its seven full-floor residences artfully combine the highest level craftsmanship and finest materials with innovative wellness features and top-tier systems in every category.
The next generation of sustainable, performance-engineered architecture, now.
