30 Orchard Street, Manhattan

This 11-story condominium at 30 Orchard Street in Chinatown, originally built in 1979, underwent a significant expansion in 2008 that added floors and a modernist façade designed by Ogawa Depardon Architects (ODA). The redesign introduced floor-through apartments with corten steel accents and wood window frames, blending Japanese "wabi-sabi" principles with contemporary aesthetics.

The building features a striking ground-floor art gallery with 23-foot ceilings and irregular floorplate indentations, reflecting the architects' vision of contrasting new and old architectural elements on a historic block. Its current structure spans 14,866 square feet across 11 stories, rising above neighboring tenements in the Lower East Side.

Architects Kathryn Ogawa (I.M. Pei & Partners alum) and Giles Depardon (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill alum) created a "Darth Vader"-like silhouette through segmented volumes and material juxtapositions, emphasizing authenticity through weathering patterns and natural material aging.

Lempert Brothers Intl USA. testimonial To Whom It May Concern: We had the pleasure of working with Stephen Sunderland months ago when we were in search of new office space for our growing company. He was of great assistance with all the questions we had about today's real estate market. His accurate analysis of the market and the time he took to listen and understand our motivations was a great advantage We required an office building that would allow us to expand and support all of our companies needs. Stephen Sunderland walked us down every road we needed to go and many times paved the way making it easier on us than could have been expected. He advised us and guided us through all the steps. He worked with us closely and made sure that he knew exactly what we were looking for. He provided us with real estate options and solutions that would save us both money and time down the road as our company grew. His dedication and commitment to his clients are rare commodities in today's self-interested world. If you see fit to give him a chance to serve you, we guarantee, you'll never look for another real estate agent. Without reservation, we strongly recommend the services of Stephen Sunderland and would most definitely work with him again, if his assistance is called for.
