165 Charles Street is the only Richard Meier project where the architect designed both exterior AND interiors — distinguishing it from the earlier 173 and 176 Perry Street commissions (where Meier designed exteriors only, with buyers commissioning their own interiors).
What anchors the building is the Meier-as-total-designer pedigree — exteriors and interiors resolved into a single coherent vision rather than the exterior-only commissions of the Perry Street twins. That completeness produced its signature amenity, a 50-foot infinity pool in a double-height atrium that ranks among the most photographed spaces in NYC residential, and it has drawn a trophy cultural resident roster to match: Calvin Klein, Natalie Portman, Martha Stewart, Princess Khaliya Aga Khan, the Winklevoss twins, Barbara Gladstone, and Norma Kamali.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The facade passed its last inspection with no required repairs — nothing to budget for here, and no facade assessment on the horizon for roughly five years.
