News Roundup: Ando Condo and Nouveau Nouvel

Tadao Ando, the Pritzker Prize-winner and one-time boxer, has always had to pull his punches in Manhattan. His work so far has been limited to a SoHo apartment for a Japanese sports star and parts of the West Chelsea restaurant Morimoto. Now he will be a little more visible in the city, with a seven-story, 32,000-square foot condo building at 152 Elizabeth Street, at Kenmare Street. (Gabellini Sheppard Associates is the architect of record for the project.) Ando is best known for the magic he wrests from poured-in-place concrete, but, given high-end condo owners' desires for sweeping views, the building will also have plenty of glass. Ando’s building, just east of the Storefront for Art and Architecture, will replace a non-descript, red-brick parking garage in a booming section of NoLIta. Developers  Saif Sumaida and Amit Khurana , who acquired the site for $21 million, hope to break ground later this year.

Jean Nouvel has also had a tough time in Manhattan, thanks to both realtors and rising waters. In 2010, the developers of 100 11th Avenue, Nouvel’s condo building overlooking the Hudson River, brought in Jennifer Post, a prominent interior designer, to redo the building’s lobby, which realtors said was so "cold" (architecturally) that it was discouraging potential buyers. Then, in 2012, superstorm Sandy destroyed the building’s ground floor spaces. With insurance money in hand—one of the few good things to come from Sandy—the condo association has asked Nouvel to redo the lobby, a commission the architect says he was happy to accept. The new lobby, as well as a redesigned pool and gym, will be installed as soon as post-Sandy infrastructure upgrades, designed by Beyer Blinder Belle (also the architect of record for the Nouvel projects), are completed.

Is the tipping point finally here on ditching cubicle curtains? For at least the past decade, healthcare designers and facility managers have been predicting the demise of privacy curtains in hospital and clinical spaces. Many point to the rise of single-patient rooms which afford their own privacy.
