64 University Place pays homage to the historic Revival-style buildings of the neighborhood while offering a contemporary design. The 11-story residential building responds to its context in scale, materiality, and texture. The façade features a grid of five bays defined by pilasters and arched windows, articulated in hand-laid brick masonry, creating fluency with adjacent buildings. Arched windows present a modern design aesthetic that echoes the traditional vocabulary of the neighborhood, while offering residents sweeping views of the historic thoroughfare.
