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. Within, refined and richly detailed interiors are warm, bright, and timeless.

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, incorporating an alternating recessed pattern at the piers. The adjacent red brick facade utilizes a bullnose brick at the windowsills, head, and piers that frame an English bond brick course.

"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." Morris Adjmi
