16 Fifth Avenue was designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects with Hill West as executive architect, nineteen storeys on an interior lot between 8th and 9th Streets, just north of Washington Square.
There are fourteen residences. Twelve are full floors and two are penthouses, which means one household to a floor through most of the building.
The elevation is warm brick with stone trim and a grid of recessed windows, drawn to sit with the pre-war buildings around it. Recessed is the operative word: the openings sit back in the masonry rather than flush, so each window has a real reveal and the wall between them is solid.
A full floor plan on an interior lot is a particular condition. There is no party wall, but there are also only two long elevations rather than four, so light arrives from the front and the back and the middle of the plan is the part that has to be resolved. Circulation runs around the core, and rooms needing daylight have to reach one of the two faces.
