look inside olympia DUMBO as first interior visualizations are unveiled

new dwellings over dumbo

hill west architects unveils a first look at the interiors of its ‘olympia’ residences in DUMBO. the tower gently twists above the historic brooklyn neighborhood to look out across the east river waterfront toward lower manhattan. the thoughtful exteriors are occupied by 76 hand-crafted homes with interiors design by workstead. the team notes that its residences ‘reimagine luxury as craftsmanship and materiality that is rooted in the context of its location.’ the dwellings are services by over 38,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor amenities to introduce ‘olympia’ as a dynamic and vibrant new community all on its own.

inside olympia

hill west architects reveals the workstead-designed interiors of its olympia dumbo as sales are launched — handled by the eklund | gomes team at douglas elliman and karen heyman of sotheby’s international realty. the 38,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity spaces are spread over three floors — the club, garden, and bridge levels.

the team comments: ‘olympia is a project 235 years in the making. the building’s name is a nod to the history of dumbo; long before dumbo became the desirable neighborhood it is today, it was a village named olympia. over time, olympia became part of the parish of brookland; the township, and then the city of new york.’

lobby and garden interiors

at olympia DUMBO, the interior of the triple-height lobby hosts a commissioned sculpture by jacob hashimoto and floor-to-ceiling window walls. a custom-designed mahogany lobby desk with inlaid red jasper marble counter and inset chamfered edges is surrounded by ‘rain drop black flamed-mosaic’ flooring and variety of wall finishes including raked maple and hand-raked plaster.

meanwhile, the garden lounge is opened up with double-height ceilings with floor-to-ceiling window walls. natural materials include light ash wood flooring and maple millwork, and the space is furnished by custom built-in banquettes.
