I’ve been pestering DDG forever about a rendering for 12-14 Warren, the condominium the company is constructing between Broadway and Church. All we knew, courtesy of a schematic posted on the construction fence, is that it would have protuberances. A Curbed article about a DDG project in Soho reminded me that I should check in on the firm’s website, and voilà!

The accompanying text is below. Note that it’s just going by 12 Warren now. It appears to be 12 stories, with rather a lot of bulkhead—but since I had understood it to be a full 15 stories, that’s an improvement.

With 12 Warren, DDG returns to Tribeca’s Warren Street. [DDG did 24-26 Warren, too.] The wide building lot allows for spacious residences, consisting of triplex, duplex and full-floor homes. Most residences will feature private exterior spaces. The combined ground-up and complete renovation will result in a state-of-the-art building that also reflects the rich architectural tradition of Tribeca loft buildings. Bluestone will be the prominent façade material.

Do you think this is a ground-floor apartment, making fascinating use of the basement and sidewalk vaults? And will passersby be able to see the residents on that catwalk?

Best of all might be this mosaic that evidently shows how the inspiration from the design came from the way bluestone naturally occurs (?)—and of course you’re familiar with the bluestone in Teardrop Park. If only the building looked like the image in the lower right!
