Full reveal at 331 E. Houston St.



The construction netting is off the new 13-floor residential building with 78 units going up at East Houston and Ridge Street.



And the view from East Second Street...



The website of project architect Stephen B. Jacobs offers a few more details on the building at 331 E. Houston St./163 Ridge St.

The ground floor includes the residential lobby, a lounge, and apartments in the rear of the building which have access to outdoor space. A large skylight brings natural light to the gym in the cellar, and stairs provide access to recreational outdoor space in the rear yard. A mix of studios, one, and two-bedroom apartments make up the bulk of the building. The top floor includes a three-bedroom apartment with a balcony. The rooftop is designed as an amenity space for the building, complete with deck seating, projector screen, bar, and outdoor shower.

The interior design was inspired by the raw nature of materials in the Lower East Side, such as exposed concrete and blackened steel, and includes touches of color such as the graffiti tiled accent wall in the lobby.



The building also includes 16 affordable housing units.

The L-shape parcel here sat empty for years, the property of reclusive real-estate baron William Gottlieb.

    and they need a roof shower because their apartment is too far away?
    or the food fights they'll have on movie night?

    "The ground floor includes a residential lobby". That's fucking innovative.
