apartment building, Modern (architecture)
393-foot, 33-story postmodern residential building completed in 2016. Designed by Davis Brody Bond and Ismael Leyva, the facade is clad in dark-tan/reddish granite and green-tinted glass, with the east end cut at an angle to follow the path of the High Line Park gently curving around it. The 3-story base includes a double-height lobby, and the stone piers are finely fluted, with vertical silver metal panels running up their centers at the 1st-2nd floors. The north facade at the base has a wide entrance bay, flanked by smaller bays. To the west are two medium-width bays, and to the east are five such bays. At the double-height lobby, the main entrance bay and the narrow two around it are recessed, with plate-glass windows. The main entrance has a revolving door and traditional glass doors below a suspended metal-and-frosted-glass canopy. The west end of the ground floor has an entrance/exit to the underground parking garage, and the bay to the east of the main entrance area has a metal service door. The other four bays have storefronts at the ground floor. Above, the bays have tripartite window configurations, and all the windows have grey metal framing. The northeast corner, where the angled facade begins, features a bay with 3-story glass-and-metal infill, with no stone spandrels dividing the floors. These resume along the angled east facade, which has six bays, with storefronts on the ground floor.
The upper floors of the north facade have 16 narrow bays between the stone piers, with stone spandrels at every third floor. This treatment continues on the narrow west facade, with seven bays. The end bays wrap around the corners, without corner piers. Near the east end is an angled section of glass curtain wall, signaling the transition into the angled east facade. Its mass forms a glass near-cube shape that rises not quite as high as the main roof line, but quite a bit above the lower east section's roof, which occurs at the 18th floor. This east section narrows to a point, creating a triangular shape next to the cube of the glass curtain wall section.
The rear, south-facing facade has the same assemblage of rectangular main tower, somewhat shorter glass cube near the east end, and shorter triangular wedge shape at the east end. The main tower section is topped by a glassy crown concealing the rooftop mechanical equipment. The building contains 179 apartment units. The ground floor is occupied by a Duane-Reade by Walgreens pharmacy.
