Designed by Brooklyn based architects SO-IL with local architect Kane AUD and developer Tankhouse, 450 Warren was named an Archdaily Building of the Year for 2024. Three courtyards create porosity to bring light and green deep within the site. Textured masonry winds around each volume and courtyard, and shadows move across differing orientations to register the movement of the sun and the seasons. As building envelope consultant LaufsED advised on façade options, material choices, constructability, thermal and structural performance of the façade as well as strategies for building maintenance.
