Morris Adjmi Architects

To discretely integrate a new multifamily development into Greenwich Village's streetscape, 181 MacDougal features two distinct facade motifs that emulate traditional masonry details found throughout the historic district. The light gray facade with frontage on both MacDougal and West 8th makes use of brick and cast stone to frame each of its windows. The adjacent red brick facade utilizes a bullnose brick at the windowsills, head, and piers. Within, refined and richly detailed interiors are warm, bright, and timeless.

"Each building in Greenwich Village has its own unique character that contributes to the area's distinctive identity. To emulate the smaller, more human-scaled fabric of the neighborhood, we designed two distinct facade motifs, side by side."

The interiors at 181 MacDougal embody a quiet sophistication rooted in the spirit of the Village. MA’s design approach pairs refined materials with a warm, understated palette—creating homes that feel distinctly modern yet timeless.
