Residences at Prince Street
Celebrating the building's rich history while offering luxurious, modern accommodations.
Marvel revitalized the landmarked 32 Prince Street in Nolita, NYC, converting the former convent and school into a private townhouse, eight condominium units, and a freestanding glass brick fronted townhouse. The Residences at Prince, once part of Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral Campus, is a NYC Individual Landmark and a Nationally Registered Historic Place. The design highlights the building's original features, blending new materials with historic elements to create unique, modern living spaces. The project features a multi-level inner courtyard with private and communal gardens, providing a serene oasis in the heart of the city. The combination of historic and contemporary design pursues a harmonious balance between past and present.
The exterior design maintains the Federal style's simplicity, while the inner courtyard façades are playful and irregular.

A decision was made to peel back the layers and expose the building’s physicality, repairing but not clearing so as to celebrate its age and story.

The historic north wall with 200 years of alterations directly inspired the design of the modern concrete rainscreen.
