For the past six years, the NYCxDESIGN Awards have been the highlight of Design Days, a week-long festival presented by not-for-profit NYCxDESIGN and dedicated to showcasing the talents of the city's design community. The ceremony is hosted by Interior Design editor Cindy Allen, and the finalists and winners are determined by a jury of design industry leaders. The winners are featured in Interior Design, featured in online galleries on both Interior Design and NYCxDESIGN's websites, and celebrated on Interior Design and NYCxDESIGN's social platforms.

Ms. Allen read the winners in a virtual ceremony presented by DesignTV on Monday, May 17. However, the organizers are planning a fall event that will allow winners to pick up their awards in person and celebrate together. We take a look at residential winners and finalists below.

The High Line has seen some adventurous architecture on all sides since the elevated train tracks were transformed into a park, but none with the interpretation of bay windows that Lantern House is famous for. As a result, residents of the "bubble-wrapped building" will enjoy incredible natural light and views, not to mention built-in window seats to make the most of this. The amenities were also designed with the location in mind, and include a courtyard nestled under the High Line, an Equinox-managed gym and pool with High Line view, and roof terrace with spectacular skyline vistas.

These include a private port-cochere, 82' lap pool, Grand Salon, and Starlight Lounge.
