The Smile是一座混合用途的建筑，它连接了哈林区热闹的125街和较为安静的126街。建筑在街道层设有一间护理学校，上面的楼层是住宅公寓，其中三分之一的单元包含社会福利房，有助于加强社区内的居住多样性。
Bridging Harlem’s active 125th Street corridor and the quieter 126th Street, The Smile is a mixed-used development that houses a nursing school on the street level and residential apartment units above. One-third of these residential units contain affordable housing units that strengthens and provides housing diversity within the neighborhood.

东126街独特的T形场地带来了多样化的单元尺寸和布局，同时与附近的建筑形成更加紧密的连接。建筑南侧的悬臂结构犹如悬停在125街的商业建筑上空，在日新月异的上城街景中创造出一种动态的构成。
East 126’s unique T-shaped footprint offers a diverse set of unit sizes and layout organizations, while also strengthening the connection relationship with the neighboring buildings. This southern cantilevered portion of the building appears to hover over the existing commercial building on 125th Street, creating a dynamic component in the evolving uptown streetscape.

沿着126街，建筑立面在上升的同时向内侧缓缓倾斜，以一种优雅的姿态使方直的街道边缘变得柔和起来。该设计手法不仅使建筑体块能够适应城市的规划限制，还为其所在的住宅区街道带来更多的阳光直射。连续的棋盘式立面板系统让每个单元都能拥有落地窗，从而享受到开阔的城市风景。公寓的视野或俯瞰东哈林区、朝向中央公园；或俯瞰哈林河、朝向北边的布朗克斯区。

Along 126th Street the building’s facade gently slopes inwards as it rises upwards, softening the hard linear street edge in an elegant gesture. This architectural move enables the building massing to comply with the city’s zoning envelope and at the same time enables the residential street to have more direct sunlight. The use of an interlocking checkerboard facade panel system allows for floor-to-ceiling windows in each unit, creating open views of the city for the tenants. Apartment units overlook East Harlem towards Central Park as well as northern views over the Harlem River and the Bronx.

入口处的地面以动感的彩色混凝土铺设，其灵感源于街区中的壁画，为大楼创造出一个独特而充满活力的欢迎空间。内部设施包括健身中心、媒体室、休闲spa、社交客厅和可以俯瞰三层走廊的共享工作空间。走廊空间由天窗照亮，作为一种过渡性的存在，强调出建筑既有的砖砌外墙和新建筑的裸露钢结构之间的结合。
The entrances are tiled with vibrant splashes of colored concrete that draw inspiration from the neighborhood’s murals and provides a unique, lively welcome into the building. The interior amenities for residents include a fitness center, media room, relaxation spas, social lounges, and workspace which overlooks a skylight-lit three-storey gallery. This interstitial space highlights the integration of the existing building brick facade and the new building’s exposed steel structure.

建筑的外墙采用了黑色的纹理金属板，内部的居住空间则尽可能保持了中性且简单的色彩搭配，主要选用木材、裸露的混凝土结构和钢桁架等未经加工的建筑材料。公共性更强的区域则在选用适合住宅的中性材料的同时，将外立面的金属板以及彩色瓷砖的元素结合进来。
While the exterior envelope is blackened textured metal panels the interior residential spaces are a neutral, minimal palette. Throughout the interiors, spaces consist of raw architectural materials of wood, exposed concrete structure and exposed steel trusses. The more public amenities spaces combine the languages of the exterior facade metal panel and colored tiles alongside the more neutral residential materials.
