Hart Studio Architecture PLLC

Retail Flagship – Soho, NYC


This ground-up, new construction project is located in the heart of SoHo, one of New York City’s most historic and design-sensitive neighborhoods. Matthew served as Architectural Project Manager for O’Neil Langan Architects, overseeing the process of securing New Building Approval from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.


The design carefully balances contemporary architecture with the character of the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District, integrating traditional proportions and materials with modern construction methods. The project creates a contextual yet forward-looking presence on the streetscape, providing functional retail and residential space that enhances the vibrancy of the neighborhood.


Successful navigation of the Landmarks approval process was required to address the complex challenges of new construction within a historic district, resulting in a building that both respects its architectural context and meets modern standards for performance and use.
