Penthouse on the Bowery

Project Manager/Designer
Ilana Kushnir
Completion Date
December 2003
Location
Lower East Side-Manhattan

The Bowery of Manhattan, long since known as Skid Row, is undergoing a transformation into the hip and trendy residential community of the expanded Lower East Side.

With the Landmark Commission armed to help the process along, this small stretch of the Bowery has been designated as a place worthy of preservation.

This title given shortly after the project was filed, presented a complex issue to everyone involved since the addition could not be looked upon as a disruptive process to the stability of the block.

In the final conclusion, it was given approval and with minor changes was allowed to be constructed. Probably what will be the last new work to be executed for the next few years, this eclectic two story additions created the look in bricks and mortar of what is happening by changes in flesh and blood.
