New York buildings come in a variety of architectural styles, but typically each building has just one. A condominium under construction in Long Island City, though, will bring three styles into a single project.

Named Galerie and designed by ODA New York for Adam America, the 11-story complex on Jackson Avenue, directly across from MoMA P. S. 1, will reference building types found throughout the Queens neighborhood. Concrete-framed sections of the facade have factory style windows that hark back to the steel versions on the area’s 19th-century industrial plants. Sections with more traditional punched-out windows are brick, like the older portion of P.S.1. And a curtain-wall component at the top of the complex resembles the glassy structures prevalent across the city today (and provides unfettered views of the Manhattan skyline).

The segments fit together like puzzle pieces, giving the large, 182-unit project the feel of a cluster of smaller buildings and thus bringing a more modest scale to an area that has seen its share of looming, straight-up towers.
