The name of this building is a tribute to its amazing curved façade, made of stainless steel and inspired by the ‘moon’s textured surface’. When viewed from the south, it stands above the surrounding buildings on 125th Street. From above, the structure slopes upward, as if drawing a smile.

Located in the Big Apple’s renowned Harlem district, it houses a nursing school on the street level and 223 apartments above. One-third of these residential units will be set aside for affordable housing.

The building’s interior features an entrance with vibrant splashes of colour, reminiscent of the artistic murals that adorn buildings in East Harlem and representing historic figures that share political messages.

‘Residents are immersed in an explosion of reds, blues, greens and yellows that draw inspiration from Harlem’s Puerto Rican and Caribbean culture’, explained BIG.
