THIS. BUILDING. is going to be MARVELOUS. Probably my favorite to rise adjacent to the High Line since the Fitzroy.

I agree. Its a smaller gem. There's a few mid-rises that are stunning, and often under the radar. Even amidst all of the towers rising, recently complete or planned, a bulk of NYC construction is in the form of mid-rises or low-rises. Tons in the range of 12-20 floors.

I've noticed a big up-tick in Queens (12-20 floors) and the Bronx as well.

This is a smaller gem, again, kinda under the radar: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=1336

Amazing interiors with the development in the link too. See FC credit link for interior shots.

This is quickly becoming quite the superblock (or few blocks) of starchitect mid-rises. A lot of high quality packed into a relatively tight area.

I really like this project. Its unique. I hear some folks say its bland, but its unique. Nothing like it in the city. Yeah the High-line is amazing. 520 West 28th By Zaha Hadid is stunning.

The High-line in general will be studied by urban historians as a great success. It transformed a relativly bland area 10 years ago to a mecca full of Filet migon mid-rises. The best cut, from the best architects.

Bulging Sculptural Windows At Heatherwick’s 515 West 18th Street Nearing Completion, In Chelsea





Quote:
The first residential project in New York City by Thomas Heatherwick is making swift progress at 515 West 18th Street in Chelsea. The curtain wall of bulging, two-story windows on the shorter, ten-story building is nearly complete, while the façade of the taller, 22-story reinforced concrete structure is now starting on the second floor. The topped-out buildings straddle the High Line and will become an eye-catching addition to the neighborhood for residents and tourists alike. The project is located between Tenth Avenue and Eleventh Avenue, and is being developed by Related Companies.

Thomas Heatherwick’s 515 West 18th Street Now Officially Called Lantern House, In Chelsea



Quote:
The Related Companies has released new renderings and a new name for Thomas Heatherwick’s High Line project at 515 West 18th Street: Lantern House. The pair of residential structures is located along Tenth Avenue between West 18th Street and West 19th Street and flanks both sides of the High Line, which has seen a dramatic transformation from new construction over the past decade. The development is Heatherwick’s first residential project in New York City and in the United States.

The structures will offer residents views of Hudson Yards, the Empire State Building, the Hudson River, and of course the High Line, and the building’s oversized sculptural windows will allow plenty of natural light.

The inspiration for the design and the name comes from the maritime warehouses that once were part of the Chelsea neighborhood. The hand-laid gray-colored brick façade and the bulging, lantern-shaped windows were specifically designed for this property. Each unit will have at least one bay window and come with a windowsill clad with Bianco Marfil marble. A sculptural glass lobby will connect the two topped out 10- and 21-story reinforced concrete superstructures.

Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group will handle the sales and marketing for the 181 homes, which are going to launch next year and range from one- to four-bedroom layouts, many with their own private setback terraces, and a collection of expansive penthouses. Prices begin at $1.7 million. Amenities include a fitness center and spa, an entertainment room, residential lounges, and parking for 175 vehicles.

Lantern House is expected to be completed next fall.

This would make a great HQ for a whiskey distillery in KY.

Wow, that's different. Feels very modern and classic at the same time. I like it.
And the way the High Line runs through it is fantastic.

Bumped to merge with Lantern House.

In the future please check if there's an existing thread before creating a new one.

It looks awesome but I don't like it at street level.

People generally don't like being under masses like that.
