NEW YORK | 501 + 515 West 18th St (Lantern House) | 250 FT | 21 FLOORS

Today. The larger building is a few floors up now.
The grey brick facade looks good so far. Just hope it goes well with the windows. Can’t wait to see them in place.

I was a bit worried I wouldn’t like it in person but it’s actually really nice. It’ll look even better once the windows come in

The second building is catching up

The architecture along the HL is extraordinary.

Yes, in fact it makes walking through the HL that much more interesting. If you take away the architecture and replaced them with the one story repair shops or parking lots that were there before, the HL experience will be diminished. There’s an interplay relationship between the HL and the new buildings around it.

It has made the complaints that the NIMBYs and the so-called “critics” once lobbed against the new developments around the HL seem so shortsighted and outdated now.

I sat in that same booth in that same diner recently. I can only wonder what the future plans to develop the site that quaint little diner sits on now: it think it is a railroad car. I took some photo of that building across the street with the bulbous windows: they look great, and have plenty of nice tradition brickwork all around the bay window and on the entire facade above. Will post as soon as I get back to my office later today; I promise…

Its coming out great.

Yes, looking good. Simply stated, the building is attractive, artful, and interesting: that will get my ‘good design’ seal of approval every time. I take a laymen’s approach to evaluating the architectural design; I am not too critical, or sophisticated in my opinions - but do appreciate good design.
