Superior Ink is Robert A.M. Stern's contextual Far West Village trophy commission for Related Companies, built on the former Superior Ink factory site with Yabu Pushelberg interiors.
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the Stern / Related / Yabu Pushelberg starchitect-developer-interior-designer combination — among the most institutional teams in 2009-era Manhattan residential. Second, the contextual red-brick architecture — referencing the industrial heritage of the Far West Village. Third, the 62-75 condominium units plus 7 Bethune Street townhouse configuration — combining vertical and horizontal trophy formats.
