WEST 57TH STREET TOWER / NEW YORK CITY

Oh boy........

One time back in 1930, when the architect William Van Alen designed the Chrysler Building, people say he is going mad.

Well now we see this idea and I am pretty sure all the New Yorker will challenge each opinion.

Me? I would love to see the actual building. No more, no less.

 
A 102-story residential building with sweeping views of Central Park and the New York City skyline. Each unit has its own unique figurally carved façade and balconies that frame particular features of the surrounding urban and natural landscapes. The building is draped in a façade of limestone-tinted Taktl© concrete panels with hydroformed sheet-bronze details and brass-tinted alloy structural extrusion enclosures. The 64th floor features a sky-lobby with exclusive retail stores, a 2-story high ballroom for events, and a 4-star restaurant all of which have access to four massive cantilevered balconies that offer an awe-inspiring event and dining experience unique to the city of New York.
