INC Architecture & Design

Located at Broadway and Columbus Circle, 1 W 60th St presents a robust, expressionist form to one of New York City's most iconic public spaces. Inspired by the heroic character of the Flatiron Building, it is conceived as an Uptown Flatiron for the 21st century. The building seamlessly integrates into the city's fabric with a blend of old-world craftsmanship and dramatic urban design.

INC's latest addition to the New York City skyline is a condo rental building that stands out with its grand gesture and exquisitely detailed features. The structure's powerful profile was crafted with meticulous attention to materials, details, and proportions, creating a softly modern yet classically iconic form. Broadway, New York City's oldest north-south thoroughfare, served as a key inspiration. Originally the Wickquasgeck trail, Broadway's diagonal path across the island has given rise to remarkable triangular and trapezoidal buildings, the most famous being the Flatiron Building. At 1 W 60th St, architectural and interior detailing soften the building's sharp corners. Hand-laid bricks in algorithmic rotation form the building's base, with materials chosen for their soft tactility and depth. The facade features wire-cut, warm charcoal-colored Norman bricks with a velvet finish and weathered mortar joints, adding to the building's unique character. Inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere is enhanced by cerused white oak, raw linen, silver pewter metals, satin concrete plaster, lush wool mohair, and low-luster concrete floors. Each element was selected to create a cohesive and welcoming environment, embodying a modern yet timeless elegance.
