The breathtaking landscape of New York and its vibrant urban centers have

long inspired design professionals to create destinations that are both

distinctive and contextual. Cities—including the most populous city in the

country, New York—take shape through the collaboration of myriad artisans

who design the buildings that anchor communities. The role of the developer

is foremost: before the architect draws up, before the builder builds, before

the craftsmen add finishing touches, before the designer fills the interior, the

site must be envisioned and planned. The vision harnessed by the developer

becomes part of the architectural fabric of the landscape, the community, and

the city.

At Related, our vision is to develop and build significant and iconic structures

that enhance and engage the community. Since 1972, our buildings have

enriched the skylines and streetscapes of great American cities from coast

to coast. Our portfolio includes residential, mixed-use, retail, office, and

exhibition spaces. We regularly join forces with legendary architects, designers,

artists, and other industry specialists—many based right here in New York—

who mastermind and enhance our spaces artfully. Our commitment to design

excellence extends to sustainable design across our entire new development

portfolio. Our buildings have redefined the concept of sophisticated urban

living and are at the vanguard of new urbanism.

Throughout New York, developers and designers are defining skylines and

lifestyles with artistry and style. Within this unprecedented collection, you’ll

discover the crème de la crème of New York designers of all stripes.

AbOve: In 1999, we pioneered the practice of commissioning celebrated

architects to design residential properties by selecting Robert A.M. Stern to

plan his firm’s first luxury condominium property. Reminiscent of the legendary

pre-war buildings situated on Park Avenue and the intimate tree-lined streets of

the Upper east Side, The Chatham is a 34-story residential tower in Manhattan.

A distinctive exterior of red brick and limestone is matched by the sumptuous

lobby and residential amenity spaces personally appointed by Robert

A.M. Stern.

PRevIOUS PAgeS: The One Central Park residences start on the 52nd floor

of Manhattan’s Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. At Time Warner

Center, we redefined sophisticated metropolitan living in New York City and

trademarked the term Five Star Living®. We ensure our residents receive the

best in every aspect of the luxury residential experience: inspired architecture

and design, the most desirable locations, captivating views, superior service,

and world-class amenities. The One Central Park super-luxury residences

occupy the same mixed-use building as stylish retail and four-star restaurants.

With Time Warner Center, we transformed Columbus Circle and created a new

paradigm in multi-use development. On the 71st floor, Architectural Digest’s

LeFT & beLOW: boston’s back bay is home to The Clarendon and One back

bay, a luxury hybrid property designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The

storied and dignified New england backdrop informs the traditional yet

contemporary design. A façade of brick and glass with steel accents allows the

exterior to merge seamlessly into its ideally situated location amid boston’s

finest neighborhoods, and the elegantly appointed interiors are a graceful

postmodern tribute to boston heritage. The grand-scale lobby boasts intricate

white oak wood paneling, marble flooring, and furniture designed by Robert

A.M. Stern complemented by an exclusive art collection by American artist

Sol LeWitt.

W ith a decidedly european mindset, Pietro

Cicognani and his team design all of their projects

to last for a very long time, both physically and stylistically.

They believe that in a society of constant change,

architecture—independent of its vernacular—must remain

consistent in quality while its creators look to the future for

greater energy efficiencies, broader palettes of materials,

and ideas that are innovative yet timeless.

Cicognani Kalla Architect specializes in residential design

but its leadership notes that its body of work would

be incomplete without the valuable experience that

commercial commissions afford. Understanding how to

give an office building the intimacy of a residence or a

private home the grandeur of a large-scale public space is

an intrinsic part of the firm’s creative process.

The firm was established in the mid ’80s by Italian Pietro

Cicognani and the late Ann Kalla, an American-born

architect and professor. Intentionally maintaining an

intimately sized firm of fewer than a dozen, Pietro, in

collaboration with associate Nicholas Stanos, is personally

involved in every project that his firm undertakes, whether

in New York or overseas.

RIgHT: Pale Male and Lola, the famous avian residents of a nest

outside a 5th Avenue penthouse overlooking Central Park, were the

inspiration for their next-door neighbors’ Lalanne-commissioned

dining table. Two hawks, cast back to back in solid bronze, form

the pedestal—a whimsical complement to the framed sketches of

birds in flight. Unique to the area, the 3,000-square-foot residence

has one bedroom and a generous amount of open space to

maximize the views and the wraparound balcony. The dining area

and kitchen can be easily subdivided with a full-height door that is

usually pocketed into the wall. Slivers of marble—half an inch wide

by about six inches long—create an intriguing effect as the kitchen

flooring, and the cherry cabinetry continues the textural grain.

FACINg & PRevIOUS PAgeS: The goal was to transform the penthouse

apartment into an elegant yet relaxed setting for an art collection,

where daily life and vistas of the city could be fully enjoyed. We

designed the space in collaboration with interior designer Alexa

Hampton, and CNR group handled the construction. A soft

contemporary tone is established in the entry hall with an abstract

painting accentuated by the white-gold-leafed wall and its subtle

square patterning; the square blocks of end-grain wood flooring

carry the mosaic effect throughout the home. Farther in, the main

space opens to generous panoramic views of Central Park, flanked

by several more pieces of art. Two sculpturally cantilevered window

seats invite the residents to lie down and feel like they are in an

outdoor cocoon, connected with the park and city beyond.

Just as each building site is particular, each work of

architecture, from grand apartment to lake retreat, is

distinct, communicating a unique perspective derived

from the meaning of site and purpose. Such perspectives

are ways of seeing into the heart of architecture and they

come to life in the work of gavin Macrae-gibson through

the careful selection and arrangement of forms derived

from vernacular, modern, and historic traditions. These

languages of form vary greatly in relation to specific

circumstances. As a result, each project’s style and meaning

is quite different. For gavin, such Perspectivism in design

opposes the modern tendency for all things to be similar

in every place. by contrast, his architecture celebrates the

richness of life through the wonder of form.

gavin was born in London, england, and received his

first degree in architecture from Cambridge University.

He was awarded a Mellon Fellowship to earn his Master

of Architecture at Yale, where he subsequently taught for

10 years before establishing his namesake firm. Macrae-

gibson Architects has refined gavin’s method for over 25

years in New York City, creating more than 200 buildings

and architectural interiors for residential, commercial, and

institutional projects. The firm has been awarded work

from the Caribbean to Canada.

AbOve & FACINg PAge: We transformed a raw Tribecca industrial space into a

dramatic modern residence that fuses art and lifestyle. each of the loft’s parts

evokes its own feeling: a tranquil meditation space, secluded media room,

luminous bedroom suite, and minimalist charcoal-grey gallery with stainless

steel and glass sculpture vitrines. These parts are arranged around a grand

open living area with curving walnut library anchored by terracotta-colored

columns theatrically illuminated from below; the space opens diagonally to

a roof terrace with a Manhattan skyline view. The echo of the industrial past

resonates through the luxurious palette of materials as the space unfolds from

one area to the next.

PRevIOUS PAgeS: We comprehensively designed a classic Park Avenue

residence to provide an elegant interior consistent with its prestigious location.

We reorganized the plan, enlarged openings between rooms, and provided

individual character to each space through new flooring, ceilings, lighting, color,

and mouldings. The foyer-gallery combines floating ceiling panels that integrate

lighting for artwork displayed on deep blue walls with a crisp black and white

marble floor. Oversized mahogany doors lead to a chanterelle-colored dining

room with lustrous cream-hued trim. Additional reception rooms, a master

bedroom suite, and a service wing are arranged around the foyer.

CNR group grew out of glowing word-of-mouth

recommendations and that same solid reputation

propels the builder today. CNR has become synonymous

with passion, integrity, craftsmanship, and distinction.

Owned by Jesse Krzywon, the company specializes in

high-end construction and renovation, continuing its

relationships with homeowners by handling maintenance

work as well.

CNR group, present every step of the way for homeowners

and other design team members, is committed to

creating structures that last. The firm’s craftsmen, primarily

european-taught, are fully acquainted with the meaning of

quality. Many details are taken care of in-house—including

finish carpentry, tiling, and plasterwork—to allow CNR

greater quality control and schedule flexibility, as well as

assurance that all the moving parts will come together

as proposed. Regular feedback throughout the process

allows the firm to draft and adhere to realistic budgetary

guidelines, a pleasant surprise for the homeowner and a

source of pride—not to mention a sound track record—

for the company. Meticulous attention to detail and an

unswerving dedication to service makes CNR group a

reliable builder in every possible sense.

AbOve, RIgHT, FACINg PAge & PRevIOUS PAgeS: A majestic floating staircase

running alongside a continuous wall of cabinetry connects all four levels of the

Upper West Side brownstone, facilitating family communication within a vertical

townhouse lifestyle. We painstakingly rebuilt the 19th-century structure from

the ground up, beginning with a finished basement with laundry and exercise

rooms that leads up to a double-height ground-floor parlor area topped with

a living space on the mezzanine above. Full-height glass apertures cut from

the rear wall unify the two spaces and let in light. We altered the elevations

in order to create these floor and ceiling expansions. The 50-foot staircase,

composed of bubinga wood treads and steel stringers and structure, required

laser survey equipment to ensure all the contiguous components fit together

perfectly. bubinga and clear maple create myriad built-in features and lighting

coves in the master bedroom suite. A mechanical overhaul paved the way for

state-of-the-art features like a home automation system for the lighting and

home theater elements and radiant floor heating in all bathrooms and on the

lower levels’ tile and stone. One powder room includes mosaic wall tiles and

acid-edged translucent glass blocks.

AbOve: To enhance a historic townhouse on 63rd Street in New York and

play up 1920s details, we added plaster elements to the ceiling of a room.

We studied period designs intensely before replicating historic features like

the bold, pointed palmettes on the cornice and crown moulding, a quarter

motif on the crown, delicate tracery, and the custom-designed ceiling

medallion. All plasterwork is fabricated in our studio, then transported and

installed on-site.

FACINg PAge: We brought French Art Deco wall panels to life in plaster

from a photograph provided by the homeowner. Our comprehensive

development program involved full-scale charcoal drawings photographed

and sent to our design team, a complete clay model, and a large rubber

mold before the final casting and installation occurred alongside the

architects’ efforts for the dining room.

“Plaster is very stable, environmentally friendly, and when it’s moulded by true artisans it has unprecedented beauty and longevity.” —Foster Reeve

AbOve LeFT & MIDDLe: A library’s custom-made ornamental ceiling required the efforts of our entire design

team. Leaves sculpted on the ceiling panels blend with the floral patterns of the crowns for eye-catching

fusion. Coved lighting along the top of the room sets off the intricate, ornate details brilliantly.


AbOve RIgHT: In collaboration with designer Richard Cameron and Ariel Atelier, we produced a stunning

rendition of a ceiling from an 18th-century Irish castle for a private office. A simple and naïve floral pattern is

so intricate and unique it never once repeats itself—necessitating an intricate weave of castings, lending a

handmade quality—and gives off a lush character.

FACINg PAge TOP: A cloister hallway features a French traditional finish called stuc pierre along the walls and

plaster ceilings and in the custom-carved, ornate over-door panel. An integral colored veneziano finish and

pre-cast domed groin-vaulted ceilings complete the look. Small, subtle details tie together the vast space

and prove that plaster can be a lovely, cost-effective alternative to stone. History, tradition, and geometry

inform a modern assembly of products that perform as well as their historic counterparts.


FACINg PAge bOTTOM: Our artisans and craftsmen are committed to perfect module expression through a

room—all pieces and parts lining up properly and regularly. We ensure such faultless expression through

hand-applying details after the plaster comes out of the mold, as well as sculpting on top of components

that have been made, cast, and assembled. In the tradition of the great european masters, our team’s

cumulative architectural knowledge and plasterwork expertise goes into every project.

AbOve: bowls are the most basic of containers and their beauty lies in

their minimalism. At nearly six feet in diameter, a large Cor-Ten steel

firebowl matches the scale of the surrounding landscape. It’s an ideal

gathering place. Cor-Ten’s patina rusts then stabilizes, aging over

time from fiery red to tobacco brown to blend in with the site. A rich

juxtaposition, the firebowl is pure and simple, yet big and powerful

enough to burn a bed.

RIgHT: My proposed memorial for Scottish architect Charles Cree

Doig honors his legacy as the designer of the “whisky pagoda.”

His malting chimney and ventilator roof became a common feature

of classic Irish and Scottish whisky distilleries. The solid copper

construction contains an eternal flame to symbolize the malting

chimney and the hearth. The current of air that draws peat smoke

through the barley from the kiln fires below in whisky distilling

receives abstract form in the design.

Rendering by Hans Jürgen eberdorfer

FACINg PAge TOP: The branch construction is versatile enough

to work both vertically and horizontally. As safety is a major

consideration for any venue, I developed the vertical branches as

an aesthetic screen completely surrounding and protecting you

from the flame. This innovative silhouette is perfect for the security

needs of more commercial venues. I designed the horizontal

branch troughs to fit inside a more traditional fireplace shape as a

cradle for the flame.

FACINg PAge bOTTOM: Durable, architectural-grade Cor-Ten steel

shapes two fire designs, an acid-etched tree wall and a curved

slab. The traditional two-dimensional technique of acid-etching

enhances an outdoor, three-dimensional piece. On the wall, acid

has eaten away 1/16 of an inch of steel within a stencil of a tree

photograph. The etched area is then filled with exterior black vinyl

paint. Flames emanate from the rock bed. The curved slab radiates

heat outward: it’s a dramatic large-scale piece thrusting through

the ground plane that begins at 10 feet tall and eight feet wide.
