290 Mulberry by SHoP Architects

At 290 mulberry, the award-winning SHoP Architects has created an expression of contemporary living for the historically rich and vibrant downtown neighborhood of Nolita.

The complex geometry, in addition to a host of other parameters (including site, cost, code, brick coursing and panel weight, fabrication transport and installation), posed a great challenge with respect to information management. Because the façade needed to be “responsive” to these parameters, both during design and construction, advanced modeling software was essential. Utilizing a parametric based modeling as a solution for resolution of complex geometries and digitally fabricated components. The office undertook this building as a pilot project to initiate the use of Building Information Modeling as part of SHoP’s standard practice. Area.  26,800 sf

This unique condominium pays homage to and celebrates its surroundings with its intricate but subtle use of a patterned brick seen nowhere before.
