ughhh I hate it, that side with the mozaic thing (is it a pixelated image of a galaxy?) really destroys the whole thing. The windows on that side also………. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I don’t care how good the plans are. Campy contrapuntal wall panel patterns always ruin a project. It’s an eyesore of trend of the latter half of the 2000s that we’ll have to live with. We’ll see it and always reminisce about the dark times: Hey that’s the style of architecture when the profession boomed due to the greed and corruption of Wall St.

Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is more than I expected when I found a link on Delicious telling that the info here is awesome. Thanks.

What I wonder if they own the building next door next door.

If not, in the future, whenever they decide to make a higher buidling there, you’re not only going to lose that lateral facade work, but also the openings at the last floor. I don’t know how they let them put windows on that side.

I’d just love to know why we only get to see the same angle with the off-putting ‘digital mosaic’ for the exterior shots… would have loved to have seen the seemingly interesting space where that gap is… floor plans are decent enough/ think I conconcted something similar during 1st year studio for fun ;)

I am curious on how the interior spaces read…I can kind of get that through the plans, but the exterior details leave me to believe that it is more of a one-liner building with little to back it up once you get past the explosion design on the side of the building.

Though I will say, it is an example of how one can deal with a blank facade that has to happen on a building like this.

Ok folks,
Architecture is not meant to pursuit the new, architecture is meant to give good solution for a given problem.
Having said that, i think that the build is ok … nothing extraordinary, but the plans are still ok.

is just another son of the standarized residential architecture of New York. I don´t see any contribution of this architecture… and the mosaic… just a fart that made this possible to be published

There are no photos from across the street or from the west because those views of the building reveal that it is really uninpired architecture. 1100 Architect does nice work, this just isn’t their best effort.

…and why aren’t there photos from the other end of the street?

1960′s revisited – in the worst possible way. looks kinda cheap. who would want architecture like that in their city?

A primitive one to one photoshop filter-cum-facade design. Reminds me of the 70′s ugly mosaic work. Unfortunate.

This one reminds me of OMA’s apartment building project in NYC…

Who wants to have a veiw of the side of a building… Good dissolve concept though.
