Concrete Design

Abode2 takes a first look around the impressive 30,000-square-foot collection of indoor/outdoor amenities at The West Residence Club at 547 West 47th Street, the transformative, move-in-ready luxury condominium in Hell's Kitchen

Marking their first NYC residential project, Dutch-based innovators Concrete – the firm behind projects such as the first Virgin Cruise Ship, the CitizenM hotels and the Urby residential rental developments – designed the building inside and out. They're responsible for the striking exterior architecture, residential interiors (219 studio to two-bedroom residences) and the extensive communal spaces, which span multiple levels of the 12-story building and pay homage to the project's overall design while offering a contemporary approach. The amenities are dynamic and massively scaled, truly bringing the building to life.

Concrete's amenities at The West Residence Club offer a distinctly communal atmosphere from the second you walk into the building, catering to those seeking a social and all-encompassing lifestyle with hotel-like services and all the most desirable amenities available under one roof. The Glasshouse, a freestanding glass-enclosed library with a fireplace, living room and co-working table, is located just beyond the double-height lobby lounge and concierge desk and is one of the stand-out amenity spaces with interiors subtly nodding to Scandinavian design.

The solarium-like space is intended for residents to go to socialize, get out of the daily grind and take a moment to escape without having to leave the building. The Glasshouse's location at the centre of the building overlooking a serene interior courtyard allows natural light to pour in and creates a bright, airy and energetic environment that makes residents feel as if they're outdoors.

The expansive rooftop boasts a breath-taking swimming pool and chic lounge area overlooking the Hudson River and city skyline, outdoor kitchens/dining and more intimate spaces like private cabanas. Inside, a double-height state-of-the-art fitness centre with a yoga studio and outdoor fitness terrace is curated by The Wright Fit, creating a meaningful and encouraging space for personal fitness.

Throughout the building, residents will find tons of everyday conveniences, such as a pet spa and dog run managed by Throw Me a Bone, an adorable indoor/outdoor children's playroom, a chef’s kitchen and private dining room, a co-working space and conference room, a bike repair shop, two rentable hotel suites for guests, a large mailroom with a gift-wrapping station, multiple green spaces and storage for every home.
