A few weeks after Renzo Piano completed the high-end 565 Broome SoHo, more photos of the Italian architect's first residential project in New York City have been revealed. The luxury condominium building was developed by real estate firms Bizzi & Partners Development, Aronov Development, and Halpern Real Estate Ventures, and Parisian practice Rena Dumas Architecture Interieure (RDAI) was in charge of the interiors. Renzo Piano Building Workshop collaborated with SLCE Architects.

According to Renzo Piano, the design of the 17,000-square-foot tower was “shaped by light,” which led him to create conjoined glass structures with curved corners and an exterior of “low-iron” reflective glass. Inside, the building contains 115 light-filled residential units—ranging from studios to four-bedroom condos—that maximize views of the city. For the interiors, RDAI wanted to deliver a cohesive design that prioritizes craftsmanship and high-quality materials. 

Renzo Piano Building Workshop and RDAI enhanced the open layout of early industrial SoHo lofts by using pared down neutral tones and ultra-transparent glass for the oversized windows. 

A 92-foot-tall indoor conservatory features live green walls and three black olive trees, while residents have access to a 55-foot-long saltwater pool, an automated parking system wherein cars are encased in glass and visible at street level, a children's playroom, a fitness center, and a landscaped outdoor terrace, among other amenities.

565 Broome SoHo is said to be the first high-end residential Zero Waste Building in NYC, meaning that it achieves over 90 percent diversion of waste from landfills, incinerators, and the environment.
