H&dM to Design Affordable Housing & Recreation Center in New York

NEW YORK, USA — Herzog & de Meuron will lead the design of Hudson Mosaic, a new affordable housing project in Manhattan’s Hudson Square neighborhood. The project represents a bold vision for equitable and sustainable urban living — an all-electric, Passive House development with a sizeable community center at its base. At once iconic and responsive, the project weaves residential and public programs into a cohesive architectural statement, grounded in brick materiality, public art, and a shared civic identity.

“Amidst a generational housing crisis, we are transforming precious City-owned land into not just new and affordable homes, but into rich and vibrant community assets,” said Acting Commissioner of NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) Ahmed Tigani. “Hudson Mosaic is a demonstration of HPD’s commitment to building homes and neighborhoods that give every New Yorker the chance to thrive and live a life with dignity. Through collaboration with Parks and DEP, as well as with this incredible development team that we’ve designated today, we are meeting the highest bar for community engagement and design excellence — all while moving with urgency to deliver the housing and supportive services that many New Yorkers so desperately need. Once completed, Hudson Mosaic will stand as a representation of what is possible when we all come together and deliver for hardworking New Yorkers.”

As the lead design consultants, Herzog & de Meuron will work in partnership with New York-based Curtis & Ginsberg, who have been appointed as the architects of record.
