Awesome photos. My cousin, his wife and their kids were in town a few weeks ago, and they were all blown away by this building, they're from Denver fyi.
This is one of those buildings where it's really difficult to think of something I don't like about it. I guess from some angles it looks a bit lonely, but that's really nit picking and has nothing to do with the actual building itself. Overall this building is a masterpiece. |
This is a fairly simple building for a Gehry design. By applying graduated variations in the perimeter of each floor plate, the effect of undulation emerges. Structural columns remain plumb, which is a vast simplification for Gehry. A similar concept was applied to exterior balconies of a tall building on Chicago's Lakefront. But Gehry of course chose to clad the waves with stainless steel and he has admittedly achieved a much more elegant execution.

For a second there I thought the roof top play room was actually at the top of the tower.

At the very least the units are great looking.

I am extremely jealous of all the lucky bastards that get to live there.

The Beekman is one of my favorites.
