Kaye Residences / Grzywinski+Pons

Susanna Moreira — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Kaye is a new thirty-one-story building in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood comprising 324 apartments, hospitality-grade amenities on the ground, seventh, and thirty-second floors, a co-working space on the mezzanine, and commercial space at grade. Grzywinski+Pons designed both the building and all of the interiors, as well as much of the furniture, for our client, Skanska.

Locke at East Side Gallery / Grzywinski+Pons

Valeria Silva — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Locke at East Side Gallery is a 176 room hotel with a cafe, bar, lounge, co-working and event spaces that Grzywinski+Pons designed at the heart of the eponymous memorial in Berlin’s Friedrichshain neighborhood. When the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall — among history’s most direct architectural manifestations of repression — organically transformed into a canvas for the free expression of international artists, The East Side Gallery was born.

Buckle Street Studios / Grzywinski+Pons

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Sun, 21 Aug 2022 21:00:00 +0000

Buckle Street Studios, located in the Aldgate East neighborhood of London, is a new thirteen-story building comprised of 103 compact apartments, a mezzanine co-working space, a coffee shop, meeting rooms, and a concept store. Grzywinski+Pons designed the building from the ground up as well as all of the interiors and much of the furniture. The urban infill site is part of a dense and varied assemblage of buildings in both scale and style.

Broken Wharf London Apartment / Grzywinski+Pons

Andreas Luco — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 01:00:00 +0000

Locke at Broken Wharf is a 113 room hotel with a bar, restaurant, lounge and coworking space that we designed in London, England. This adaptive reuse project comprised an addition, complete gut renovation and comprehensive fit out of an existing seven story office building in the very heart of the British capital. While the incredible riverfront location of the site was a true gift, the disused commercial block that we were poised to transform was hardly predisposed towards a hospitality program.

Whitworth Manchester / Grzywinski+Pons

Martita Vial della Maggiora — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Whitworth Locke is a 160 room hotel with a bar, cafe, lounge and co-working space at the ground floor that we designed in Manchester, England. This adaptive reuse project was an addition, complete gut renovation and comprehensive fit out of a collection of three linked buildings on an island site in Central Manchester with elevations on Princess Street, Whitworth Street, and the Rochedale Canal.

Eden Locke Edinburgh / Grzywinski+Pons

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 03:00:00 +0000

Eden Locke is a 72 room hotel with a cafe and bar on the ground floor that we designed in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh. The project was a complete gut renovation and comprehensive fit out of an existing hybridized structure. We took an 18th Century Georgian mansion and its 20th Century extension down to their respective bones and created the hotel from there.

Treves & Hyde / Grzywinski+Pons

Sabrina Leiva — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Treves & Hyde is a new restaurant and bar that we designed near Whitechapel in East London. The environment is also intended to accommodate both formal and casual occupation, staying open for interstitial use between meal service. It was also important to us and our client that the space could function without compromise from early morning through late night while maintaining its functional variability. So we provided ample and flexible seating, power points and areas geared equally towards both privacy and the happenstance run-ins increasingly found in modern workspaces or a cafe. We postulated that while guests might feel comfortable working or socializing in a space seemingly appropriate for dining, they could feel less at ease dining in an environment geared towards co-working. Accordingly the aesthetic typology is unabashedly that of a restaurant.

Leman Locke / Grzywinski+Pons

Daniela Cardenas — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 06:00:00 +0000

Leman Locke is a new 168 room hotel that we designed in the rapidly evolving East London neighborhood of Aldgate. This commission allowed us to continue our interrogation of the intersection of hotel and residential programs. We (and our client) had in mind that young, creative professionals who are increasingly nomadic for purposes of their work might like to have an option that combines the best of two worlds from a hospitality perspective: The design-led and convivial atmosphere one often finds in good boutique hotels, mixed with the convenience of an extended stay product. Our process was driven by the search for a way to hold on to the aspirational excitement of a hotel stay while enjoying the advantages of something more akin to a home in one's adoptive city no matter how long - or short - the stay.

120 Allen Street / Grzywinski+Pons

Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 11:00:00 +0000

120 Allen Street located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and is comprised of sixteen furnished studios and four furnished apartments with a commercial space at grade. Grzywinski + Pons designed the building, the interiors, and much of the furniture. Located on an infill lot in a classically gritty LES tenement block, the property — while very narrow — is block-through and as such has frontage on both Allen and Orchard Streets. In order to accommodate the allowable floor area on such a narrow footprint, we bifurcated the mass on the north-south axis creating a slender ten-storey tower on the Allen Street side (a far wider thoroughfare with arresting skyline views) and a five-story volume on narrow Orchard Street which are contiguous in plan. While the west facing tower isn’t strictly non-contextual (there are a few other far bulkier “finger buildings” on the block) we did see the upper portion of our tower as heterogeneous and decided to design the building accordingly. By treating the top five floors conceptually as a vertical augmentation to the neighborhood’s historical typology we elected to create a different skin for it.

The Boro Hotel / Grzywinski+Pons

Cristian Aguilar — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 14:00:00 +0000

The Boro is a 108 room hotel in the rapidly evolving neighborhood of Dutch Kills in New York City’s borough of Queens. While there are several existing flagged hotels in the area, the Boro is the first design-led bespoke offering that we hope will both further catalyze and respond to the exciting changes that are already evident.

Urban Villa London / Grzywinski+Pons

Cristian Aguilar — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 06:00:09 +0000

Urban Villa is a 100 room hotel in west London. The property is unique in that it is a hybridization of a boutique hotel offering and an aparthotel — two programs that generally are mutually exclusive. Our brief was to bring a design-led bespoke hospitality feel to a product that is traditionally anything but. An even bigger challenge for us was to attempt to do this within a portion of a newly built and largely residential tower (not of our design) that we found to be rather prosaic and sterile. We had to look hard to find any character within the existing environment and, where possible, we tried to peel back the layers that were at odds with our intentions.

Bayside House / Grzywinski+Pons

Jonathan Alarcón — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:00:11 +0000

This residence was built for a family in the Bayside neighborhood of Queens in New York City. The 3200 square foot triplex home houses three generations under the same roof so it is in essence a two family house. We disguised the bulk of this project, complied with zoning regulations and kept it lower than most of it's mock tudor neighbors by locating much of the program below grade with a second yard excavated away from the street elevation. The retaining walls and glazing were configured to allow maximum daylight penetration and the two lower levels feature contiguous interior and exterior public space. Because the yard is small we minimized the amount of hardscape without abridging functionality.

115 Norfolk / Grzywinski+Pons

Jonathan Alarcón — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000

115 Norfolk Street is a 27,000 square foot 24 unit multifamily residence on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Grzywinski+Pons was responsible for all architecture and interior design. We worked within a very constrained budget on the project and were able to produce a condominium product that compared well with competing developments with far higher construction costs.

The Nolitan / Grzywinski+Pons

Daniel Sánchez — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000

The Nolitan Hotel is a 55 room boutique property in downtown Manhattan. It also features a restaurant at grade and a roof deck. The building, interiors, restaurant and rooftop were designed by Grzywinski+Pons.
