A new residential skyscraper will soon be coming up in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, just steps away from New York City’s iconic landmarks Lincoln Center and Central Park. Designed by Snøhetta, the tower design aims to sensitively respond to the historic architecture of its context through its intricate form and refined material palette, noted ArchDaily.One of the highlights of the tower will be its unique multi-level amenity terrace, which will be carved from the tower’s form. The limestone, bronze and glass clad building will occupy the complete area between 65th and 66th Streets with the residential entrance from the 65th Street and the entrance to the synagogue from the 66th Street.An amenity terrace on the 16th floor will be the social heart of the building planted with lush vegetation and offering views of the Hudson River, Central Park, and the city. In the floors above the terrace, the tower is carved at the corners to create private balconies. Snøhetta explains, “The design is achieved through a series of sculptural excavations, evocative of the chiseled stone of Manhattan’s geologic legacy.” When complete, the tower will stand 236 meters tall and will contain 127 residential units and a synagogue.For more information, visit: https://snohetta.com/ Read more
