AIA New York has honored 35XV with a 2019 AIANY Design Award for Architecture. AIA New York's annual Design Awards program recognizes outstanding architectural design by AIA New York members, and honors the architects, clients, and consultants who work together to achieve design excellence.
"35XV employs dramatic cantilevers and an expressive, textured façade to create a truly unique environment for both living and learning," stated Dan Kaplan, Senior Partner. "We are thrilled to have this project recognized by our colleagues and AIA New York."
Rising 347-feet above its mid-block site, 35XV is a hybrid residential-academic building located in Manhattan's vibrant Chelsea neighborhood. Utilizing excess development rights from the historic Xavier High School, the design artfully resolves the project's principal requirements: providing needed expansion space for Xavier; creating highly crafted residential units that take advantage of their elevated location; conforming to highly restrictive municipal bulk controls, including sloped sky exposure planes; and being a "good neighbor", relating to the both the Xavier Campus and to the neighboring streetscape, despite the project's overall size.
Employing dramatic cantilevers and an expressive, textured façade, 35XV exemplifies a truly unprecedented environment for both living and learning.
