29 Wythe — ARCHIMÆRA
An exterior street elevation precedent for multi-family residential architecture using articulated light masonry, punched window grids, and rhythmically staggered balconies.
- What we like about this project

Visual tags
- urban-housing
- masonry
- grid
- balconies
- contemporary-facade
- Geometry
- Symmetrical multi-story massing steps upward toward two central penthouse towers, featuring a rigid grid of punched window openings and projecting balconies.
- Facade system
- Load-bearing or backup wall with light masonry veneer, integrated punched window assemblies, and cantilevered metal-railing balconies.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with masonry facade cladding
- Spatial scale
- Mid-rise residential scale, approximately seven stories tall with ground-floor commercial storefronts.
- Lighting
- Clear daylight casting soft shadows from the balconies, highlighting the textural variation of the light-colored brick.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, orderly, and substantial urban presence under a clear sky.
- Environmental context
- Urban street frontage with an asphalt road in the foreground and neighboring brick buildings visible on either side.
- Spatial experience
- The facade presents a monolithic, highly textured urban wall from across the street, animated by alternating solid brick piers and deep balcony recesses.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular vertical bay alignment interrupted by projecting dark metal balconies creating a checkerboard pattern.
- Style reading
- Contemporary urban residential rationalism
- Program
- Multi-family residential with ground-floor retail
