Sugar Hill, David Adjaye Associates, Harlem, New York, 2014London-based David Adjaye Associates' brand-new Sugar Hill is unique in that it pairs affordable housing with a public program, namely a preschool and a children’s museum. The 13-story, 124-unit building is wrapped in embossed panels of precast concrete. Saw-toothed fenestration around the glazing recalls the bay windows prevalent in neighboring row houses. The building is broken into two volumes, offset at the ninth floor to form a terrace on one side and a cantilever opposite. Additional terraces are located on the second, third, and roof levels. The 17,600 square foot Children’s Museum of Art and Storytelling occupies the basement level of the building, while the early childhood education center, due to open in September, is located on the ground floor.
