2025 Advanced Studio Design Award
New Jersey School of Architecture

Located between the High Line and Hudson River Park at the edge of Chelsea, Pixelatrium connects these two iconic greenspaces. Formally a set of shifting pixelated modules that breaks down the distinction between interior and exterior, the project embraces the energy of the city with a structure-spanning central green atrium that welcomes visitors to explore its interior.

The massing seeks to preserve the High Line’s existing relationship with the Hudson River – the nearby section is called the Hudson River Overlook – while activating the site as a gathering place, re-establishing the street wall along 14th St, 15th St, and 10th Ave.
