Exclusive: This Luxe New NYC Condo Building Has a High-Design Playroom for Its Youngest Residents

The Cortland's whimsical space is the first kid-centric design from architecture firm Olson Kundig.

“The Cortland explores the essential heritage of a city, its layers of time and perspectives, while juxtaposing that history with a new point of view,” explains Kirsten R. Murray, Olson Kundig’s principal, in a press statement. “The understated drama of the interior design evokes an experience that is both modern and timeless, unexpected and yet familiar.”

Creating somewhat of an ecosystem within the Robert A. M. Stern tower, the whimsical playspace is divided into two floors with a rippled mirror on the ceiling that mimics the the sunlight you’d see reflecting on top of the water. The lower level, which has been named the Barnacle, features porthole windows that continue to the marine theme. To keep the building’s youngest residents busy, there’s a rock wall and an abstract whale body made of plywood to climb on.

The 25-story condo, which was completed in October 2022, marked the first collaboration between Olson Kundig and Robert A. M. Stern. The high-rise has 144 waterfront units in total, including. In addition to the playroom, residents also have 20,000 square feet of additional amenities to enjoy—everything from a 75-foot indoor pool, a yoga and pilates studio and a basketball court to an infrared sauna, a screening room and shared outdoor space.
