What was once a dilapidated lumber yard became a newly constructed three-story, mixed-use building containing retail and rental apartments. Located along a waterfront inlet in the Village of Roslyn the reimagined development utilizes materials that are true to the historical district around it. The use of a brick and steel aesthetic, reminiscing of an industrial warehouse, has since become an integral part of the local fabric.
Initially where lumber was stored, the historic barn has been transformed through adaptive reuse and its internal spaces repurposed for retail use - while at the same time retaining important historical characteristics on it’s exterior.
Ranging from studios to 2-bedrooms apartments, each unique residence contains a bright, clean kitchen and bathroom design and an open floor plan.
The use of floor-to-floor curtain wall on the exterior facade allows the tenants to maximize natural daylighting and experience different views of either the village center or the waterfront from within their respective apartment.
Surrounded by planters and wood screening for privacy, the roof deck seating and entertainment areas allow the tenants to enjoy 360-degree views of the Village of Roslyn including the overpass, inlet, and the historic village center.
The inviting residential lobby features faux-wood porcelain floors and a wood-paneled core that functions as both a sitting area and elevator bank.
The added promenade invites the public to walk along the beautiful harbor inlet and embraces the walkability of the community.
Select residences include terraces which allow for private outdoor seating while still capturing views. Additionally, all residences to have access to other shared amenities such as a private gymnasium, storage and mail rooms within feet of their apartments.
From its amenities to its residences, every facet of this Roslyn Luxury rental is a testament to the proposition that life should be lived within a walkable historical community.
