450 Washington
Elevating Amenities for a 24/7 Lifestyle
A prime waterfront residence, 450 Washington stands out for its rich and layered furnishings, immersive amenities, and gallery driven collection of artwork. Supporting work, play, and rest — each amenity space has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of each resident's day.
MAWD approached the project through extensive persona driven research to determine which amenities would make the largest impact for residents. The result, a thoughtfully designed golf-simulator, communal dining room (with a hidden industrial kitchen), extensive co-working and flex spaces (including a library and multiple conference and Zoom rooms), in addition to an expansive rooftop deck with 360 degree views of the Hudson River and downtown Manhattan.
Bringing Warmth, Comfort, and Culture into New York’s Coveted Tribeca Neighborhood
For the project, global interiors
studio MAWD, worked closely with the New York based gallery Sugarlift, to procure a permanent collection
for the residence.
Drawing on Tribeca’s rich artistic heritage and current cultural status (the neighborhood is home to a leading number of artists and galleries), MAWD aimed to draw in the neighborhood’s atmosphere, building a stand out collection with Sugarlift Gallery to compliment the residence’s communal and amenity spaces.
Through the placement of these works, Related’s 450 Washington has supported the local art ecosystem, from the gallery down to the artist, all the while enriching the cultural experience of the building’s own residents and guests.
Capturing the intrigue of Manhattan’s most coveted downtown neighborhood, our concept for 450 Washington was to bring the warmth, artistry, and heritage of Tribeca’s cultural hold into this waterfront project, crafting an unparalleled modern experience.
Amenities that balance personalization, with flexibility
Central to a multifamily residence, are amenities that feel both personal, while being flexible enough to serve a wide variety of uses. Each of the amenity spaces within 450 Washington have been designed with this viewpoint in mind. The library, for example, is sumptuous, warm, and inviting - and more closely reminiscent of an individual's living room, rather than a community space. Multiple seating clusters and an expansive square footage provide residents with the privacy and flexibility to adjust the space to their unique needs.
