Building of the Day: Covenant House New York

Born out of a creative real estate transaction, Covenant House New York sits in the evolving community of Hell’s Kitchen. The building’s design is hand crafted and humanely scaled to contrast with the glass towers surrounding it. At 12 stories, Covenant House New York is substantial and bold, with natural materials that create a secure and welcoming experience. Solidity and transparency are balanced: connections to the city are enhanced at the community spaces, while solidity provides shelter and refuge.
