하렘가의 새로운 부흥을 꿈꾼다. 다양한 플라워 패턴이 음각처리된 파사드가 특징적인 슈가힐 하우스는 할렘 지역내의 소셜과 컬쳐를 지원하기 위한 복합공간으로 제안된다. 실질적인 환경개선 사업의 일환으로 124세대의 주거 (거주자들의 특성을 고려, 저렴한 가격으로 쾌적한 환경을 보장 받을 수 있도록)와 미취학 아동을 위한 교육 및 보육시설 그리고 칠드런 뮤지엄이 배치된다. 특히 13층에 달하는 건축물 파사드는 이 지역문화를 상징하는 "헤리티지 로즈"를 재구성, 패턴화한 프리케스트 패널을 이용함으로써, 독창적인 건축환경을 연출한다.

construction is almost complete on a David Adjaye-designed affordable housing complex in New York's Sugar Hill district featuring a facade embossed with floral patterns
The Sugar Hill Development – located in the district of Manhattan made famous by rappers the Sugar Hill Gang – is designed by Adjaye Associates to provide 124 affordable housing units, preschool education facilities and a children's museum.
David Adjaye described the building as a "new typology for affordable housing" and expressed his enthusiasm at engaging with "the cultural, social and physical fabric of Harlem".
"My hope is that the building – perched high on Coogan's Bluff – will
offer a symbol of civic pride and will be a valued new resource for the
neighbourhood," he said.
Located on West 155th Street, the 13-storey structure features a facade
of precast panels embossed with images of roses, in reference to the
surrounding "heritage rose" district. These are designed to sparkle as
the sun catches them.
The building steps backs at the ninth floor to create a three-metre wide terrace on one side and a cantilever on the other.
A landscaped plaza will form the entrance, while additional terraces
will be available to residents on the second and third floors, as well
as on the roof.
