Architecture studios Frida Escobedo Studio<\/a> and Handel Architects<\/a> have created a brick tower in Harlem<\/a>, USA, that contains apartments atop a multi-level arts centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in central Harlem, the Ray Harlem building was built on the site of the National Black Theatre<\/a> (NBT), which is dedicated to commissioning and producing theatrical performances for and by Black artists.<\/p>\n

At 21-storeys, the building contains 17 storeys of residential apartments atop new premises for the NBT on the lower floors.<\/p>\n

While the building’s apartments are complete, the fit out of the lower levels, including the 250-seat performance space, is set to begin later this year.<\/p>\n

The building’s red brick facade references the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove in Nigeria, according to the team, an area from which NBT sourced its main art collection.<\/p>\n

Panels fold inwards along the podium’s facade, while rows of terraces cut into the tower.<\/p>\n
