FLAnk Architects, of which Jon Kully and Michael Walsdorf are the principals have designed a corten-clad, 8-story hotel-condo for developer Peter Moore at 250 Bowery between Houston and Prince Streets.
The thin perforated bands of the facade conjure some Japanese designs and the as-of-right building promises to be a stunning counterpart to the New Museum for Contemporary Art designed by Sejima + Nishizawa/SANAA across the wide boulevard at 235-9 Bowery.
The New Museum building, shown at the left with the base of this new project shown at the right in the accompanying photograph, is in construction and is expected to be completed near year and it is distinguished by its asymmetrical stack of seven one-story "boxes that give it a shifting but not teetering appearance.
The 250 Bowery project will have 63 rooms and demolition has begun with completion anticipated for early 2008.
Other projects by FLAnk include the Novare at 135 West 4th Street, 150 West 15th Street and 441 West 57th Street.
