Inside The Maybury, A Residential Tower In Hudson Yards<\/h1>\n\n\n

Within the crowded New York City skyline,\u00a0<\/strong>it can be difficult for a new tower to stand out. In Hudson Yards, a recently built Manhattan neighborhood, the Maybury, a residential building, focuses less on facade vanity and more on providing a top-notch living experience. Not that its 46-story, bronzed masonry-inspired exterior doesn\u2019t handsomely differentiate itself from its glass-walled neighbors. And the same can be said of the interiors of the 453-unit luxury building, targeting cosmopolitan millennials with such tag lines as \u201cLive in full bloom\u201d and \u201crentals for the sophisticated urbanite.\u201d That\u2019s because the two firms behind the project, Handel Architects<\/a> and Mazzarini & Co.<\/a>, tapped into nature, albeit through a metropolitan lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe facade is formulated to filter the city, with perforated panels that veil the streetscape while letting in softened daylight, creating patterns that recall sunlight through leaves,\u201d describes Krista Armstrong, a Handel associate principal who codesigned the 435,000-square-foot building\u2019s exterior and interior architecture, including the apartments, with founder and managing partner, Gary Handel. \u201cStepping into the lobby feels like arriving on the forest floor, with stone pathways underfoot and light filtering down as through a canopy,\u201d she adds, referring to its travertine floor tile and aluminum screen laser-cut with an abstract floral pattern, all contributing to an arboreal first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handel Architects and Mazzarini & Co. Tap Into Nature For A High-Rise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the eighth floor of the 46-story Maybury, a 453-unit luxury rental building in New York with exterior and interior architecture by Handel Architects and FFE in the public and amenity spaces, model units, and initial leasing office by Mazzarini & Co., the resident lounge features a variety of flexible gathering areas inspired by nature, with Caterina Moretti\u2019s Loto ottomans standing before a custom marble cocktail table that\u2019s surrounded by chairs and sofa by Jake Arnold and a live fig tree, all under aluminum Vapor ceiling panels evocative of a forest canopy.

Biophilic motifs continue throughout the building\u2019s four levels and more than 20,000 square feet of amenities, which include a two-story coworking space with upholstered banquettes and a coffee bar on the fourth and fifth floors, a generous resident lounge and state-of-the-art gym that open to a terrace and occupy all of eight, and a penthouse sky lounge, their FFE by Dan Mazzarini and Caroline Fields, founder and creative director and senior designer, respectively, of Mazzarini & Co., which also outfitted the Maybury\u2019s three model units and initial leasing office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the lobby sitting area, for example, accompanying the stone floor and petal-like screen is Mazzarini\u2019s custom curved sectional upholstered in a wool blend in an Isles of Pine colorway. In the resident lounge, Handel designed treelike millwork to surround columns and screened the ceiling in bronzed aluminum panels that evoke dappled light in a forest. Mazzarini\u2019s furniture selections, meanwhile, complement this effect without taking it too literally. \u201cTexturally, we didn\u2019t do anything specifically leafy, but some pieces have more of a veining to them,\u201d Mazzarini says, referencing seating that includes a 162-inch-long custom sofa alongside chairs by Jake Arnold for Crate and Barrel and a hefty, actually veined marble cocktail table. In addition to these more traditional gathering areas grounded by patterned wool rugs and other natural materials, the open plan includes a section of terrazzo-topped caf\u00e9 tables tucked to one side for more quiet meetings and an oak communal table for group activities. To assure the space\u2019s longevity, even with daily use, \u201cWe played with scale and chose all hospitality-standard finishes, even though this is a residential project,\u201d Mazzarini continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Lost In This Residential Tower Full Of Hidden Spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With more than 60 percent of Manhattan employers requiring a hybrid office schedule, the teams did plan for these common areas to be used daily. \u201cToday\u2019s urban renter is looking for more than a place to eat and sleep. They want a sense of community,\u201d Handel states. \u201cThe amenities were conceptualized as a \u2018secret garden,\u2019 a hidden retreat in the fabric of Hudson Yards, where a mix of spaces allows residents to get to know each other but also work undisturbed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re also meant to connect residents to the city itself, bringing the seasonal hues of its beloved parks skyward into the tower. \u201cTo keep the experience new and inspiring, each floor draws from a different New York season\u2014soft greens and crisp whites evoking spring on one level, richer oranges, browns, and rust tones suggesting autumn on another\u2014giving residents varied palettes and atmospheres so they can choose the mood that best suits them and never tire of where they work or unwind,\u201d Fields explains. Sunlight is a major design element, shaped by dramatic drapery and screens, and casting new patterns across the interiors throughout the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom model units, Mazzarini, Fields, and their colleagues took the same color approach, pulling nature-inspired blues, greens, and terra-cottas into the apartments they conceptualized for potential occupants. \u201cWe created a strong persona for each one,\u201d Mazzarini says, \u201cbut we also tried to show people that these spaces really work for city living\u201d no matter their size. Desks in bedrooms, tables that can serve multiple functions, and furniture arrangements that take advantage of the site\u2019s panoramic views help make the case. For any dinner party, game night, or birthday celebration that requires a larger space, the building\u2019s lounges offer an extension of these homes, just an elevator ride away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the Maybury was conceived to support today\u2019s version of 21st-century living. Because development began during the pandemic, when the uncertainty of urban lifestyles loomed large, the project also required some very intentional future-building. But Handel and Mazzarini seem to have gotten their predictions just right. \u201cThe past five years have been such a microcosm of then, now, and next,\u201d notes Mazzarini, who\u2019s familiar with such fluctuations from his earlier years working as a retail design director for Ralph Lauren. \u201cI think the \u2018next\u2019 is making sure there\u2019s flexibility, so that if we need something different in five or 10 years, there\u2019s a lighter redesign lift. But for the \u2018now,\u2019\u201d he adds, \u201cit\u2019s responding to working from home, dining together, and egalitarian thinking, giving the best real estate to the most people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
