Say hello to Charlotte.
Meet Charlotte of the Upper West Side, an exclusive collection of seven full-floor lofts in the historic heart of Columbus Avenue. Charlotte’s exquisitely finished 4-bedroom homes, with serene European-inspired interiors by ELLE Décor A-List designer Alyssa Kapito, feature gracious open-plan layouts, custom HenryBuilt kitchens, and full ensuite bedrooms.
Winner of the prestigious 2023 AIA Design Award by the American Institute of Architects New York State, BKSK’s architectural design puts an elegant, contemporary spin on classic Upper West Side charm, combining warm custom red brick with handcrafted terra-cotta louvers that shade sweeping expanses of museum-quality glass.
Charlotte is also the healthiest, most sustainable condominium ever built in New York City, setting a new standard for wellness, comfort, and energy efficiency. As a certified Passive House building, Charlotte’s state-of-the art systems dramatically lower energy use and deliver the best air quality imaginable– each residence gets a change of freshly filtered and UV-sterilized air every hour. Welcome to a new world of stylish and healthful living.
“This building is defined not by how far above the ground we are but by how close we are to the principles that keep us grounded.
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.
