The Set & Coterie Hudson Yards pairs 13-stories and 126 units of assisted living residential units within a larger mixed-use residential tower, anchored by 272 market-rate rental units, 134 designated affordable units, and amenities including a restaurant, fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, and terrace. The project bridges the Hudson Yards and Hell’s Kitchen neighborhoods and the exterior expression reflects this shift. Most of my work involved in designing and detailing the façade which is a combination of glass, metal, and warm terracotta, glazed in a bronze finish with a slight metallic look. Building entries are defined by fluted limestone and bronze canopies, emphasizing the feeling of a luxury experience.
At the ground level, the two faces of the corner site intrinsically led to designing two distinct lobbies—one on 35th Street, the senior assisted living residences and one on 10th Avenue for the rental residences. The amenities of the podium serve as a link between the building’s community and the community at large, programmed as a mix of commercial and community-use facilities. At the ground level, dividing the two residential entrances, the corner space was designed for a future restaurant.

Vertical piers undulate to accentuate the verticality of the tower and subtly shift as the building rises. Terracotta was selected to relate to the industrial and residential low-rise brick and terracotta buildings in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
