JBA Collective integrated a 1970 Modernist church into a new condo inspired by Brutalist aesthetics, creating a unique high-rise on the Lower East Side. The building's design reflects the neighborhood's blend of historical legacy and creative culture, with zig-zagging concrete slabs and floor-to-ceiling windows.
At 48 Second Avenue, architecture firm JBA Collective integrated the Modernist building of the former Church of the Nativity, built in 1970, into the base of a brand-new condo that draws inspiration from the church’s Brutalist aesthetic and reimagines it as a robust, expressive high-rise. Floor-to-ceiling windows nestle within zig-zagging concrete slabs that create a unique experience at every apartment and a one-of-a-kind presence on the Lower East Side skyline. The building’s design stays true to the spirit of funky, vibrant Lower East Side, known for combining a historical legacy with a culture of free-wheeling artists not afraid to let their creative work take flights of whimsy. Numerous art galleries, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and poppin’ nightlife joints sit within steps of the avant-garde tower.
