From Ando to Zaha: NYC residential buildings designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Monday, March 11, 2024

Established through the Hyatt Foundation in 1979 and described as "the Nobel Prize of architecture," the Pritzker Prize honors a living architect or architects (never a firm, though) whose work demonstrates “a combination of talent, vision, and commitment." The candidates and jury deliberations are closely guarded secrets. In a ceremony held at a site of great architectural significance, the winner received a $100,000 grant, a formal citation certificate, and a bronze medallion based on the designs of Louis Sullivan.

This year’s ceremony will be held at S.R. Crown Hall, Illinois Institute of Technology, in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Center, and the prize will be awarded to Japanese architect Riken Yamamoto. Over the course of his five-decade career designing both public and private buildings, his work has been distinguished by bringing a sense of community to all spaces. The announcement cited such examples as the Hiroshima Nishi Fire Station, which has a glass louvered facade that allows passersby to see the firefighters at work; The Circle at Zurich’s airport, which welcomes residents as well as travelers to the shops, restaurants, hotels, and convention hall; public housing developments in Japan and Korea that encourage connection between buildings; and his own house in Yokohama, which was designed to invoke interaction with neighbors from terraces and rooftops.

“His constant, careful and substantial attention to community has generated public interworking space systems that incentivize people to convene in different ways” – 2024 Pritzker Prize Jury Citation of the Laureate

Mr. Yamamoto’s portfolio does not include any buildings in New York City, but developers and designers could draw inspiration from his approach, especially at a time when Midtown could be remade. Details on the Midtown South draft zoning plan, which allows for new housing in parts of Midtown previously reserved for commercial and manufacturing uses, were released at the end of last week. Mr. Yamamoto has described apartments as “boxes inside of a bigger box” that make it difficult to build a community, and any new housing that comes out of this could stand to improve on that.

“I want to use a world-class architect [for my building] because there’s probably a very, very good chance that I will move there” – Developer Edward Minskoff on the David Chipperfield-designed 17 Jane Street

About a month before the 2024 Pritzker Prize laureate was announced, Commercial Observer noted that fewer high-profile architects are building in Miami in recent years. Their complicated designs can mean high risk, not to mention high construction costs, and buyers are showing greater interest in partnerships with luxury brands like St. Regis, Aston Martin, and Dolce & Gabbana. The same may yet play out in Manhattan; fewer celebrity architect-designed buildings are taking shape now than in past years, and two penthouses at Mandarin Oriental Residences were among the top sales for the first week of January 2024.

However, many of New York’s “starchitect”-designed buildings are located in highly coveted neighborhoods, where they have become dramatic additions to the skyline and set new standards for luxury. Moreover, scarcity in both the areas and the buildings may drive prices up – while not at previous highs, CityRealty’s starchitect index nevertheless shows them climbing up again. We look at residential buildings by Pritzker Prize laureates from 1979 to present.

Urban Glass House, #PH
$19,950,000 (-18.6%)

SoHo | Condominium | 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths | 4,266 ft²

Urban Glass House, #PH (Compass)

From the Listing: Introducing the Penthouse at 330 Spring Street, a full-floor five-bedroom home with interiors by Annabelle Selldorf and two terraces totaling almost 1,600 square feet wrapping three sides of this grand home on SoHo’s coveted waterfront. With 11.5’ ceilings, a private landing with an additional service entrance, and an unbeatable flow separating the private and public spaces, this is a grand home as well suited for entertaining as it is for the easy comforts of daily life. The Urban Glass House was the late architect Philip Johnson's final project, taking inspiration from his personal residence, the original Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. See floor plan and full details here.

Habitable Sculpture, 328 Spring Street

50 Units | 26 Floors | Unbuilt

Habitable Sculpture rendering via The Vendome Group

In response to Antonio Vendome's request for "something different and beautiful" for his lot in what is now known as Hudson Square, architects Philip Johnson and Alan Ritchie submitted a design inspired by a John Chamberlain sculpture. Mr. Vendome described it as "a new concept in architecture in which a building is first conceived as a work of sculpture and then divided into units," and architecture critic Herbert Muschamp admired it for "turning contextualism on its head."

The local community was not won over, deeming the project too tall. Messrs. Vendome and Johnson found that a shorter height would alter the sculptural concept, and the 12-story Urban Glass House (see above), would rise on the site instead. Mr. Johnson passed away in 2005, but Habitable Sculpture lives on in the minds of architecture enthusiasts and Mr. Vendome - in 2018, he was on the hunt for a site for it.

660 Fifth Avenue

1,400 feet tall | Unrealized 2016

The office building at 666 Fifth Avenue would have been transformed into a mixed-use supertall skyscraper

In the mid-2010s, real estate titans Steve Roth and Jared Kushner conjured up a plan to build a 1,400-foot mixed-use supertall skyscraper at 666 Fifth Avenue designed by Zaha Hadid. According to the New York Post, Hadid had already prepared a scheme that would re-stack vertically the existing 41-story office building. With a waning super-luxury market, the scheme proved financially unviable. Brookfield Properties gained partial ownership of the cash-hemorrhaging office tower and work is now underway to upgrade the 1957 building into a state-of-the-art office tower.

848 Washington Street

34 Units | 32 Floors, 489 feet | Unrealized 2001

In 2001, developer Stephen Touhey endeavored to build a 32-story high-end residential tower at 848 Washington Street in the low-rise Meatpacking District. The design by Jean Nouvel would shoulder the High Line with two connecting buildings and provide 34 loft residences with outstanding views. Local businesses and preservationists were wary of its height and the idea of luxury residences intruding on the nightlife district. Ultimately the city refused to change the site's zoning from manufacturing to mixed-use residential.

Andre' Balazs later acquired the site and built the High Line-straddling Standard Hotel several years later. Its bridged design by Ennead Architects (formerly Polshek) has had a somewhat negative impact on the elevated park because of scaffolding and most recently a falling chunk of its facade, leading to more scaffolding.

David Chipperfield is known for his works that honor the pre-existing yet present a modern sensibility, qualities that came in handy for his project in the Greenwich Village Historic District. It took a few trips before Landmarks, but the red brick boutique condominium was ultimately allowed to proceed, and attracted the likes of Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence and the building’s developer, Edward Minskoff.
