DXA studio, a New York based architecture and design firm known for a diverse range of projects primarily in Manhattan and Brooklyn, has announced that their work on the Maverick at 215-225 West 28th Street in Chelsea, developed by HAP Investments, has garnered an honorable mention in the Facades category in the prestigious Architect’s Newspaper Awards for 2020.
HAP Construction serves as the general contractor for the Maverick. The building facade provides a unique visual experience along the 200-foot wall facing 28th Street. The faceted, pre-cast concrete facade carries a geometric pattern across the two buildings, creating a dynamic play of texture, shadow and reflected light that imbues the building with a changing jewel-like quality. All 264 panels were made from custom wood molds, poured over rebar and attached via a series of embeds in the concrete superstructure.
“It has been one of the only awesome parts of a decidedly not awesome year to see the realization of the Maverick’s dynamic geometric façade, developed by HAP Investments. To have it be recognized by the Architect’s Newspaper Awards is a great honor,” said DXA studio Partner Jordan Rogove.
“It is a privilege to be recognized by Architect’s Newspaper for the Maverick’s bold, original, and creative façade design. We look forward to completing the project for occupancy in early 2021,” said Eran Polack, CEO-NY & Co-Founder of HAP Investments.
