To appeal to high-end clientele, Perkins Eastman worked with the developers to ideate a contemporary living environment in one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Relying on combined expertise in architecture and interiors, the team designed 152 one and two bedroom apartments ranging from 800 to 1,000 square feet with deluxe furnishings and all the comforts of a home away from home for international business executives.

Centria’s stunning tinted glass exterior responds to shifts in light. Transparent, translucent, and opaque in different parts of the building, the glass provides privacy where needed and unobstructed city views for residents within. When the building opened, it featured the world’s largest commercial application of the glass material.

Creating a new tower at Rockefeller Center required careful consideration of the surrounding architecture. The design team examined the nearby Art Deco structures and envisioned the contemporary condominium that would complement them and stand out at the same time. The building’s verticality and stepped terraces pay tribute to bygone architectural eras while the all-glass sloping façades showcase forward-thinking design.
