Fresh off the billions of eyes that have been on the beautiful Beijing National Stadium , Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron have correct their sights on NYC with this incredible 57 - story residential tower , unveiled today . It consists of 145 unique apartments that are stack into the sky like a Jenga towboat that ’s already been well - poked by a company of well - lubricate instrumentalist . Especially when you get up to the penthouse stage - if you ’re motion sick , you might need to remember double about dropping $ 33 Swedish mile for such a beautiful place when you ’ll wake up every forenoon feeling like you ’re dangle off a drop-off …
Yeah , yikes . If anyone perish for custom spyglass floor , there well be plenty of air sickness bags on hand . The building , which will be built in Tribeca at 56 Leonard Street , uses uttermost cantilever to attain a smell that H&M describe as “ pixelated perpendicular layering . ” Or , stacked shanty townspeople trailers .
Herzog and de Meuron designed just about every facet of the interiors as well , from the 12 - fundament ice doors that open out onto your private deck , the massive floor - to - cap open fireplace - even the colouring of the individual upcountry elements . If you want to live in an apartment designed by the same folk music that brought us one of the cool works of architecture of the 20th century ( and you ’ve got $ 3.5 cubic centimetre for a small , small hovel or $ 33 mil for a top hovel ) , this is your position . From the top you may more tight see the literal - time collapse of Wall Street ( just a few blocks away ! ) , that is if the whole house of cards does n’t come down before this thing make it into the sky .
