145 Perry Street - Private Residence
Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the construction of a four-story private residence in the heart of Manhattan’s West Village, located at the corner of Perry and Washington Streets, which originally housed a two-story parking garage.
The exterior featured a tan brick facade with stepped jambs and bronze-hued paneling. The red terracotta envelope consisted of 1,886 units of custom-stacked and intricately woven hand-pressed bricks. Additionally, there are 172 units of RAM-pressed red terracotta bricks and 88 TerraClad panel units to further elevate the building’s appeal. The northern end of the property displays dark bronze-hued paneling surrounding a glass curtain wall. The ground floor includes granite paneling that encloses the base of the building, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Furthermore, the property features a curated garden, complete with cast bronze planters arranged in a double-tiered layout. The rooftop, a focal point of the property, features a landscaped deck that offered panoramic views of the neighborhood.
The New Victory Theater – Originally built in 1900 as The Republic, the first performing arts venue on 42nd Street, the theater was transformed into The New Victory in 1995, becoming New York’s first theater for children and families. The renovation uncovered and restored original architectural elements, added a new lobby carved from the existing structure and bedrock, rebuilt the historic staircase, and created space for much-needed restrooms. A rear wing was added for backstage access, dressing rooms, workshops, and a loading dock, while new elevators and rooftop HVAC systems were integrated to meet modern needs of the historic theater.
We’re turning 50! As we count down to Sciame’s 50th anniversary on June 13th, we’re celebrating the moments that shaped us. For the next 50 days, we’ll be sharing one standout project a day in our “Countdown to 50”.
Thank you to our amazing clients, team, and friends! We wouldn’t be here without you.
Sciame is honored to have served as the construction manager for the expansion and refurbishment of The Frick Collection, working alongside Selldorf Architects and Beyer Blinder Belle to bring this vision to life. As the museum prepares to reopen next month, we’re pleased to see this project receive high praise in The New York Times from esteemed architecture critic Michael Kimmelman.
