Downtown Brooklyn’s skyline has a new jewel in its crown by SO – IL, a tower at 9 Chapel Street, and it’s not just the shimmering facade that’s turning heads. A collaboration between Brooklyn-based developer Tankhouse, acclaimed architecture firm SO – IL, and Danish design brand GUBI, promises an unparalleled New York City living experience where innovative architecture meets thoughtfully curated interiors. Take a look inside a model residence which has just been unveiled in time for the launch of sales at the new building ahead of its completion.

27 luxury homes curated by gubi

Once complete, SO – IL‘s tower at 9 Chapel will introduce 27 luxury homes to the growing Brooklyn neighborhood. Each residence will come to life with interiors designed by SO – IL, where fluid indoor-outdoor flow, high-quality craftsmanship, and breathtaking views come together as one. Covered and uncovered private terraces extend the living areas onto breezy outdoor spaces, while oversized picture windows frame the ever-changing panorama of the city. The interiors will be defined by sculptural white oak butcher block kitchens, complete with islands perfectly suited for hangouts between family and friends. These light elements will contrast beautifully with the dark green glass mosaic tiles wrapping the curving showers.

GUBI, a pioneer in the world of furniture design, is known globally for its pieces that push the boundaries of convention. Their ethos of applying the same principles of aesthetics, functionality, and thoughtful materiality to both indoor and outdoor spaces aligns perfectly with SO – IL’s vision of 9 Chapel. In the newly unveiled model home, iconic pieces like the Pacha sofa and lounge, alongside the Sejour Lounge Chair and Moon Dining Table, offer a glimpse into the design language GUBI will weave throughout the building, including its amenity spaces.
