That being said, due to the prominence in the skyline of 255 W57th, I find its design more offensive than Kafuman's street killing budget hotels. Thank you SHoP for salvaging 57th St with your design, as mediocre One 57th and DREADFUL 255 W57th seek to ruin it. |
Very nice and original design. The only thing better would be if they increased the height enough to surpass 225 W 57th, say, 1450 ft. :yes:
|
^YES! they should do that, it is simple and ART DECO-ish. It is definitely the most beautiful NYC tower in decades. #awesome

There won't be that many units here above One57's height. Maybe about five.

crap, i'm blown away. judging by the model alone this might become king of NY scrapers.

Is there other people here that think one 57 is a mediocre building? |
^ Leave that to the One57 thread.

I Cant get over of how slim this building will be, it's just astonishing...
I made this one comparing with what, until recently, was thought as the ultimate skinny tower, 432 Park. According to the scheme that was posted some days ago, the tower will be about 60 x 75 ft (and even less in the upper floors) compared with the 93 ft of each side in 432 Park. It is an exercise to see how it could work with the neccesary services. I estimate this tower, due to its height, should have at least three passenger elevators, plus one freight (432 has 4+1) to made the core minimum and leave free space for the apartments. I guess that it will have some external columns, similar to those on the old WTC. at least in the east and west facades. It could have two smaller apartments, of about 1700 sq ft or a bigger one of about 3500 sq. ft per floor (or bigger appartments that use two or more floors) http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4610/i5vd.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
Unlike another nearby building, this one is AWESOME!
That's the difference: Even with the earlier height, they had a good design, but with the increase in height they had a chance to do something unique and epic, and did! |
Will this building be getting a diagram?
|
^Yeah, Diagram Please!

Check out some of these shots of a model on display here:

From those models, it actually seems a little wider than I first thought...let's hope they get this trophy built :cheers:
