synopsis:

Oskar, at 572 11th Avenue is a new 183,000 SF, 13-story modern residential complex located between 43rd and 44th streets near Hudson Yards. The program includes a 3,700 SF entry lobby and courtyard, punctuated by a sky-lit reflective pond, a wellness and fitness center, and a 2,500 SF indoor/outdoor terrace. The building exterior is designed with a terracotta rain screen. On the lower floors, punched windows set within a glazed white terracotta exterior form an angled bay to provide air flow within the building. Upper levels are articulated with a continuous window-wall with a metal slab edge accent. A series of indoor/outdoor terraces create green space and direct connections to the vibrant city life. The interior residences are bright, modern and flexible, with luxurious finishes that complement the architectural aesthetic.
