“Brick-Tastic” Residential Projects with Hand-Laid Brick Facades

Lux Exposé

The Cortland is a new residential project located at 555 West 22nd Street across from the Hudson River Park in West Chelsea. The building represents a unique collaboration between two of the world’s leading architecture practices, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Olson Kundig.

Inspired by West Chelsea’s rich industrial heritage and the neighborhood’s historic architecture, The Cortland’s facade features a mix of limestone, brick, and metal detailing and uses over one million hand-made and hand-laid bricks giving the project a distinctly historical feel.
