83 Thompson Street
Selldorf Architects · SoHo · 2025
Northeast corner from Spring and Thompson Street.
Facade installation is wrapping up at CBSK Development and Planet Partners’ residential condo building 83 Thompson Street in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Designed by Selldorf Architects, the seven-story building replaces a previous two-story structure designed by Louis A. Sheinart in 1921. The facade features orange/red sanded brick in a stacked bond, with mahogany wood-framed tilt/turn windows and terracotta accents. Chocolate-toned glazed terracotta lintels, jambs, and sills surround and accent the wood window frames. A combination of matte and glazed terracotta, in the same chocolate tone, clads the cornices of the roof and the storefront. On the northeast corner windows, cylindrical terracotta corner posts reference the cast iron detailing of the neighborhood. Matte terracotta also clads the setback volume of the penthouse on the seventh floor.

Construction Update: Hauser & Wirth
North facade.
Construction has wrapped up at Zurich-based Hauser & Wirth’s new 5-story gallery building in Chelsea. The project is designed by Selldorf Architects, who have worked with Hauser & Wirth on its previous buildings in New York and internationally since the gallery’s opening in 1992. While previous projects have focused on adaptive reuse of existing structures, this will be the gallery’s first purpose-built, ground-up building. The facade features a grey concrete block facade with large punch windows and operable doors. Inside, the 36,000 square foot building will house 18-foot tall galleries on the ground floor and the fifth floor. Along with the gallery space, the building will also house a multi-purpose bar and event space on the second floor, while private offices and showrooms will occupy the third and fourth floors.

The concrete blocks that clad the structure are sustainably sourced and incorporate recycled waste glass and aggregate. Large 12-foot tall doors at the second floor can be opened to allow engagement with the neighborhood.

The seven story residential condo building is being developed by Atlas Capital Group. Selldorf's facade includes floor to ceiling sliding doors, glass guardrails, metal mesh spandrel panels, and round steel fins that define the window bays. The metal facade should produce a nice tension between the lighter cast iron and masonry structures that surround it.
