Finished exterior of Casetta WIlliamsburg (CItyRealty)
Good things always come in small packages says the sales team of Casetta Williamsburg. Not quite true based on the sea of low-rise schlock rising throughout East Williamsburg. But Casetta’s small helping of condos at 630 Lorimer is different.
Let’s start with the exterior. Designed by ODA New York, the building’s layered skin is distinguished by a floating exterior frame with abacus-like screens slotted in between. Three well-positioned balconies protrude from the quilt and a glass façade of full-height windows and doors lies behind. The horizontal screens serve as a sun-shading mechanism and provide a greater degree of privacy for residents. Finally, the floating metal frame extends above and over the building’s parapet, transitioning into a trellis.

Behind the exterior collage are 12 condo residences. Citi-Habitats is marketing the homes as “the perfect combination of light and air, inviting layouts and designer details packaged into a serene and intimate setting.”
Currently, just two units are up for grabs: a second-floor one-bedroom for $735,000 and a first-floor two-bedroom with a private yard for $1.56 million. Buyers will benefit from the now-scarce 421a tax abatement. All homes come with a washer/dryer, open kitchens with appliances from Liebherr, Smeg, and Summit, and baths with deep soaking bathtubs
