The Hayworth Residential Tower 

The Hayworth Residential Tower 

New York, New York
  • Design for Integration Design for Equitable Communities Design for Ecosystems Design for Water Design for Economy Design for Energy Design for Well-Being Design for Resources Design for Change Design for Discovery
A thoughtful process that balances beauty and function. Looking beyond the current client to positively impact future occupants and the community. Benefitting both human and nonhuman inhabitants over time. Responsible use of this precious natural resource. Adding value to the owners, users, community and planet. Reducing energy use while enhancing performance, comfort and enjoyment. Supporting holistic health for occupants and the community. Using materials that minimize environmental impact while improving performance. Allowing for adaptability, resilience and reuse over time. Using lessons learned to advance the profession and produce better buildings.

This 18-story luxury residential tower adds 61 condominiums and street-level shops to the Carnegie Hill neighborhood on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Influenced by the traditional architecture of the surrounding neighborhood, the building’s dimensional form steps up toward the intersection of 86th Street and Lexington Avenue. This maximizes the buildable area and creates outdoor terraces for many residents.

Conceived as jewel boxes that celebrate the individuality of each unit, windows are accented with deep bronze finish reveals. 
Energy-Efficient Facade

The energy-efficient facade fuses classic and contemporary design elements. Portuguese limestone cladding recalls the traditional stone buildings of the Upper East Side. Large glazed openings reflect a modern, cast-in-place concrete structure.

The high-performance glazing is argon-filled, triple silver coated, low-E glass. Use of continuous insulation maximizes thermal performance while controlling moisture and serving as an air barrier.

Modeling the thermal behavior of the building facade helped optimize the window arrangement, reducing heat gain. Recessed bay windows are angled to control natural light exposure and optimize skyline views.

Living Spaces 

Family-sized units feature open, loft-style living spaces with secluded bedrooms that connect to en-suite facilities.

Two penthouse units have access to rooftop cabanas with outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and expansive city views.

The entire building has operable windows. Several units have direct access to outdoor spaces.

The Hayworth’s amenity spaces include a private lounge, exhibition kitchen, game room, fitness center, children’s playroom and a lush landscaped rooftop terrace.

Two levels of flexible space at the base of the building accommodate a wide range of retail tenants. Double-height storefront bays provide a prominent street-level presence. The building’s consistent structural column grid is ideal for retail layouts.

Sustainable Design Strategies 

Each residential unit has its own heat pump, and the building has a cooling tower that serves as a heat exchange system.

All the water on the rooftop terraces is collected in a retention tank before being released into New York City’s stormwater system.

Sustainable materials include low-VOC millwork, natural wood floors and LED lighting.

Use of precast concrete on the tower’s upper levels lessened the impact of construction on the site and accelerated the construction schedule.

The project expands access to New York City’s public transit system. An elevator and indoor and outdoor stairway lead to the city’s sixth-busiest subway station, which sits directly below the building.
