If only the podium lined up with the neighboring buildings. Love this tower though.
This area has so many stunning buildings
I am glad to see those metal panel are ‘substantial’ looking; heavy gauge metal, flat, smooth and solid in appearance. I look at the Verizon Building (Walker tower I think) and I see a similar approach to the decoration of the facade: but these panels seem much more hefty…
I wonder if they will put nice cladding on the south facade? Looks like potentially a partial blank wall?
Saw this in person. The detailing is more elegant than Walker.
you mean Walker Tower in chelsea on 18th?
Correct.
I really dislike how the cantilever upsets the building’s symmetry. But otherwise, I’m eager to see how this one turns out. A potential stunner!
Back in the 80s when postmodernism and historicism was trendy in architecture, this style was called “echo deco”.
