The Smile is conceptualized by BIG, a critically acclaimed, global design firm known for breaking the confines of traditional architecture with bold designs. The unique checkerboard facade hugs 126th Street, gently curving to resemble the welcoming grin of a smile. In addition to being architectural eye-candy, this unexpected design serves a dual purpose--providing the street and residences with direct sunlight. The unique T-shaped exterior creates a diverse mix of loft-style homes as individual as the residents within.
