Design takes the lead in the residential market.An outgrowth of today's highly competitive residential marketplace is the unprecedented emphasis developers and residents place on the quality of a design. Manhattan residents are design savvy and they expect quality in every aspect of their home, from the look of the building's lobby right down to the selection of bathroom fixtures. Eager to meet the demands of tenants, developers are coming to the table with a heightened awareness of the importance that the design of their project will play in its success. As residential architects we still need to demonstrate the end value of our design decisions to our developer clients. However, the new willingness on behalf of many developers to embrace the importance of design is leading to a new chapter in residential development. Unlike the days of cookie-cutter apartments, today's developers aim to create distinctive properties with meticulous attention given to apartment layouts, views, light, materials, style and detail.

Unlike 43 W. 64th St., we used an "evolutionary" rather than a "revolutionary" approach for the design of Glenwood Management's most recent project, The Grand Tier, located at 1930 Broadway. As the architects for several of Glenwood Management's buildings, we appreciate our client's success at building brand recognition for itself as the developer of many of the finest rental units on the market. Subsequently, we engage a highly methodical approach to design to consistently refine the units and the signature features of Glenwood's buildings, such as the bay window configuration.

To meet our design challenge, we initiated "an inside-out" design approach to the project, in which ideal apartment layouts were designed first. Rather than look at how many units we could fit on a floor, the questions we asked were "What makes the best possible bedroom?" It wasn't until we had the optimum layouts established that we began to look at the larger building envelope A building envelope is the separation between the interior and the exterior environments of a building. It serves as the outer shell to protect the indoor environment as well as to facilitate its climate control. .
