Reading 'New York Magazine' architecture critic Justin Davidson's thoughtful review of the Malt House and the Manhattanville Factory District around W127 Street in West Harlem: "Malt House is an artful assemblage of four late-19th- and early-20th-century structures that the architecture firm GLUCK+ fused into one and topped with another handful of stories. From the street, the upper and lower parts look sharply distinct: glass above, brick below. Nobody’s tried to disguise any one element’s age by reproducing vintage windows, say. And yet, inside, old and new intertwine artfully, transforming a rough utilitarian shell that its owners beat up, punched through, and patched as their needs changed into a place that continues to tell the story of New York. [...] Look closely at the way these structures are joined, their personalities intact despite all the rejiggering, and you can only admire how much unnecessary elegance builders of that time incorporated into a plant without pretensions or preciousness. Honoring that craft today is far more time-consuming and expensive than it would be to knock the whole thing down and start again, so it’s a testament to the partnership between Janus and GLUCK+ that Malt House came out both as rough and as usable as it has — and that the labor doesn’t show."
