Forty Six Fifty
Forty-Six Fifty embraces Fort Tryon Park with a gently curving podium and landscaped roofdeck.
Forty Six Fifty is a new multifamily building overlooking the Cloisters and Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan. The project includes 222 residences and over 25,000 square feet of amenities, including three expansive outdoor terraces, a fitness center, a game room, a children’s playroom, an indoor-outdoor resident lounge and bike storage. A public charter school, School in the Square, will occupy space on the building’s second and third floors, which includes a regulation-size basketball court. The ground level will include one of the largest supermarkets in Inwood.
The building is shaped to embrace the adjacent park's contours, with a gently curving podium that maximizes transparency at the ground level. The podium aligns with the scale of the adjacent buildings, and is adorned with undulating metal fins in a warm copper color.
Above, the residential tower narrows into a volume of black metal and gray brick, with large windows that frame the surrounding park and the Hudson River beyond.
Residents enter off of Broadway into a lobby of marble and wood.
A feature wall is clad in Statuario white marble, while a reception desk in the same marble tapers as it meets the smooth terrazzo floor. Warm wood provides a juxtaposition to the stone elements, with vertical slats to create privacy while still allowing sunlight to the back of house. A green moss wall brings the feeling of the park inside, softening the space, while furnishings also create contrast with the stone, and are complemented by hanging Noguchi lights.
A 21,000 SF landscaped roof deck creates intimate "rooms" within the larger deck, offering spaces to gather and secluded spaces to retreat.
Inside, amenity spaces take cues from the color palette of the adjacent park.
Units are designed to maximize space and natural light.
Large windows frame views of the park and Hudson River beyond. Electrochromic glass allows individual residents to adjust the amount of tint in their windows throughout the day.
