Designed to be a quintessentially New York building, Rose HIll integrates with its historic neighborhood while standing out as a downtown icon, setting a standard for new architecture that references history and context while appearing effortlessly contemporary. The design of the building was grounded in continuing the client’s legacy as innovators and leaders in culture, the arts and urban design, and in celebrating the city’s rich history of skyscraper architecture. Within its bronze exterior, the building’s apartments and public spaces set the stage for new, flexible modes of urban living.
Rose Hill draws upon the context of its neighborhood, a gateway between old New York and the future. While the architectural range in the neighborhood is apparent, there are underlying trends of masonry and earth tone colors throughout that are reflected in Rose Hill’s façade. Filigree metal work, and detailing through railings, visual screens and louvers add depth and interest to the façade both from afar and at the street scale, creating interesting shadow patterns that catch light throughout the day. Lastly, decorative lighting illuminates the tower’s base and crown to highlight the building's unique articulation and reinforce the both the history and progression of Gotham’s skyscraper architecture.
Rose Hill was designed with a highly energy efficient façade system that qualified the project for NYC DOB’s Zone Green – an exceedance of the DOB’s requirements on insulation energy performance. Other sustainable features include energy efficient building systems monitored through a Building Management System and various outdoor spaces for residents. The project does not have any vehicular parking and benefits from the site’s convenient location with multi-modal transportation options. Bicycle parking is not only included, but enhanced with an in-house repair shop. Rose Hill has incorporated high efficiency air filters in all common and amenity areas. -2022 Interior Design Best of Year Award Finalist -2022 Metal in Architecture Award -2022 NYCxDesign Honoree -2020 NYCxDesign Winner, Unbuilt
Rose Hill, located at 30 East 29th Street, in the dynamic NoMad neighborhood, is a new 45-story residential building that pays homage to the Rockefeller legacy, the neighborhood and the city’s rich history of skyscraper architecture, while looking to the future. An expressive glass and metal façade sources inspiration from the Rockefeller Group’s landmark developments, where exterior chevron patterns influence architectural elements throughout. Geometric accents, intricate details and expansive windows combine to reference a classically Gotham aesthetic, interpreted in a modern vocabulary. The interior design reflects the architectural expression on the exterior, referencing context and history while adapting to modern living. The dialogue between the interior and exterior creates a holistic experience as one moves through the building. The residential units are largely inspired by artists’ lofts, and many include flex spaces designed to evolve with residents’ lives. The interior design approach incorporates a curated selection of elemental materials that celebrate their natural state: honed stones, hand rubbed wood and burnished metals echo qualities of the earth while bolder materials accentuate the spirit of the building and its distinct downtown attitude.
