by Elliman Editors
January 2021
Developed by Aore Holdings LLC, the new East Village residence was inspired by the aesthetic of Italian rationalist design
Located in the nexus of NoHo, SoHo, the East Village, and the Lower East Side, 32 East 1st Street features a limited collection of thirty, one- to three-bedroom, illustrious residences designed by Combined Architecture and Interiors . A magnificent new addition to an already vibrant neighborhood, 32 East 1st Street lies in a quarter of the East Village known historically for its elegance and more recently as the birthplace of American cultural icons and artistic movements.
Inspired by a modern interpretation of Italian rationalist design, Combined Architecture and Interiors’ design features a predominantly stunning glass facade with geometric metal details and a contrasting limestone exoskeleton that bestows a tectonic value to the two-dimensional curtain-wall architecture. Highly contemporary in design, the building’s interiors embrace a comfortable palette of classic materials, from Roman travertine and onyx to concrete and natural wood. The living spaces are designed with sleek detailing and rich character with each corner and angle offering up a visual experience.
Every fixture, fabric, and finish chosen for the building offers sterling performance and flawless appearance. Five-inch white oak plank wood floors, electric shades by Lutron and LED lights by Delta “REO” are featured in each unit. Kitchens are equipped with custom solid brushed oak Italian kitchen cabinets by GD Cucine, cooktops and ovens by Wolf and a stunning countertop, backsplash, and island in natural Bianco Lasa stone. The bathrooms offer residents a sanctuary of natural stone and wood. Heated floors and Cristalplant bathtubs by Antonio Lupi in select residences, complete each relaxing space. Additional features include custom walk-in closets, wardrobe and entry closets by Molteni, an integrated audio system in the living areas by Sonos and controls by Lutron allowing for illumination and climate control, to be operated seamlessly through a cell phone.
Extending the harmony and luxury outdoors, Penthouse units A, B, and C feature spacious terraces, each equipped with an outdoor kitchen and planters featuring embedded lighting. All gracing a magnificent Roman travertine floor, 32 East 1st Street offers its Penthouse residents truly a terrace to end all terraces.
32 East 1st Street’s thoughtfully designed gym, spa and lounge areas aim to energize and soothe both the body and soul. Outfitted with Peloton bicycles, treadmills, and free weights, the gym is powerfully equipped and exceedingly functional. Offering a variety of divine soaking options such as hot tubs, sauna, steam room, and a plunge tub, the spa is the perfect space to go undisturbed. The outdoor terrace and abutting lounge area combine the best parts of a garden with those of a piazza.
“Our vision for 32 East 1st Street is to bring the vibrancy of the East Village to the next level through cutting-edge design and architecture,” said Yan Ouaknine, founder of Aore Holdings LLC . “This distinct property represents a new crossroads of style and refined luxury, it is where Chrystie meets Bond and where meticulous meets magnificence.”
The building features three spectacular model units on the fourth and seventh floors designed in collaboration by Beige and d s l v Studio. In addition, Penthouse B was converted into a beautiful Pied-a-Terre designed by world-renowned French designer Mathieu Lehanneur and features new pieces by the high-end Swedish bedding company, Hästens. When Lehanneur was asked to stage the interiors of Penthouse B at 32 East 1st Street, he approached the project with pure creative adrenaline, thrilled at the opportunity to exhibit his furniture and lighting. His vision? A sanctuary in the sky that would provide a dreamlike reprieve from the bustling city below. Penthouse B has been featured in Architectural Digest, Mansion Global, Galerie Magazine and won NYCxDesign’s Best Model Residence in 2020.
