Inspired by a neighboring building in Manhattanville, New York, this projects features a dynamic facade influenced by the concept of push and pull. The design appears to peel away and float, creating a sense of movement and escape. Inside, the walls evoke an otherworldly atmosphere, making the space feel transformative. The building’s structural system is a waffle slab, complementing the curved auditorium. The multi-story facade, visible from 125th Street, offers a glimpse into the performance space and lobby, with a 15-foot tall storefront. The round auditorium contrasts the facade, making it an eye-catching feature.
