This walking tour will visit a nearly complete multi-family building designed by BKSK Architects on the northern edge of the West Village, called The Village West. This new development marks the third of four corners at 14th Street and 6th Avenue to be redeveloped in the past decade. Taking cues from the surrounding neighborhoods and immediately adjacent buildings in forms and materiality, the Village West offers textures and lines reflecting a dialogue between past and present, honoring the city’s architectural heritage while supporting modern life.
Participants will experience the exterior of the building and visit the interior courtyard. Some of the building might be an active construction site, and closed toe shoes should be worn by all.
Accessibility
This tour will be accessible via NYC streets. Starting and ending points are adjacent to the L and F 6th Avenue subway station, the M14 bus stop, and Citibike stations.
