NYCHA Red Hook Houses.
390 Madison Avenue, 55 Hudson Yards, and the NYCHA Red Hook Houses were chosen from over 400 submissions as recipients of American Architecture Awards.
All three of this year’s winners are located in New York and highlight the diversity of KPF’s portfolio. 390 Madison is a total transformation of an outdated 1950’s office building in Manhattan. 55 Hudson Yards sits at the heart of the Hudson Yards development and embraces New York’s architectural history of cast iron buildings through its innovative façade. Comprised of two contiguous low-income housing developments, the NYCHA Red Hook Houses Sandy Resiliency and Renewal Program provides built-in measures to lessen the community’s vulnerability to climate disasters.
