Through ongoing presentations and collaboration with the LPC and community stakeholders, SBJ GROUP secured project approvals in record time. The result is a building often mistaken for a restoration, rather than new construction. It harmonizes with the neighborhood’s historic fabric, not by making a bold statement, but by respectfully enhancing and blending into the existing urban ensemble.
Located in the heart of TriBeCa’s historic district in Lower Manhattan, Hotel Barrière Fouquet’s New York is a 97-room, five-star property that thoughtfully bridges contemporary design with 19th-century architectural heritage. Designed by SBJ GROUP Architects and Interior Designers, the building seamlessly integrates traditional materials-brick, stone, and cast iron-alongside modern elements such as metal screening and an aluminum panel system, following a detailed historical evaluation of the neighbourhood.
