the penthouse of the woolworth building_nyc

In 2019, David Hotson_Architect was retained by developer Alchemy Properties to provide an alternate vision for the six-story-tall raw shell of the Pinnacle Penthouse, situated at the summit of the landmarked 1913 Woolworth Building in Lower Manhattan. This vision involved adding an additional floor to enhance to experiential drama of arrival and add the encircling terrace to the penthouse property. This modified configuration ultimately led to the sale of this extraordinary property in 2023. David Hotson_Architect is now working with the purchaser of the Pinnacle to develop an architectural design that fully exploits the spatial and experiential opportunities of this utterly unique residence.
