Retro-fit

Contemporary renovations add flair to a pre-war Manhattan apartment building.

The Buchanan

Midtown East, these five pre-war residential towers have been been upgraded with new lobbies, storefronts, residents’ amenities, and a private courtyard.Two residential lobbies on each side of the building, elegantly reclad with new stone floors and walls, lead to an arcade and the courtyard. Inspired by the work of Anni Albers, the storefronts are composed of colored glass and louvers, woven together into a seamless, rhythmic pattern.

Project details

The Buchanan’s high-end amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, wine cellar, a co-working space/lounge where tenants will be able to work, socialize, and unwind at the wet bar. Plush, oak-paneled furnishings and an entertainment wall add to the experience of luxury.The Buchanan’s grand private courtyard, designed by HM White, features a linear pool that creates a visual connection between the lobbies, and a meandering woodland for post-work leisure.
