Jean Nouvele’s 100 11th Ave in NY
Photographer Paul Clemence shared with us some photos of 100 11th Ave, a residential tower in Chelsea by Jean Nouvel.
This building is almost complete, and it has a strong presence from across the river, or when seen from the High Line. I remember that a month ago, I was looking at it from the High Line and a lady next to me said “how old is that building?”. Despite the fact of its high tech curtain wall, using 1647 different window panels, the building looks ancient, almost like a left over from the old waterfront.
The variation of the windows is not only on their size, but also the inclination and the glass tint, giving this building a unique facade.

the rendered one is better
Looks like poor craftsmanship.
ha ha that is my first thinking as well
how come there is no front facade photo?
i respect
I’m not a big fan of Jean Nouvel, but this one I liked… It’s sober and there is that strong concept of separation of glass and opaque sides. I’d like to see how it works inside… Someone saw a plan?
I imagine in 20 years it will look seriously dated.
Architectural depression
This is beautiful photography, truly outstanding. Congratulations.
The architecture I was prepared to hate but love instead.

the intention is always good, while the outcome often not. That’s why they need architects.
LOOKS LIKE THEY RAN OUT OF CASH AFTER COMPETING THE FRONT FACADE
Just an information: Jean NOUVEL not Jean Nouvel”e” (in the title. Make sure to have the good information before to do an article
It would be nice to see how its solved inside.
I dont like the two facades too, I think it was better to have a black block also in the front, or a 100% glas building, but not the two toghether.
Jean Nouvel”e”ss hahahhaha!
The Wired New York Forum [blog] contains some excellent photo’s documenting both Nouvel’s 100 11th Avenue tower’s construction, as well as the accompanying Frank Gehry IAC curved glass project next door. In particular the images found on pg 21 depict the faceted facade as the hoardings are removed.
To find the link, google “Wired New York Forum & 100th 11th Avenue: Vision Machine”.
The Wired N.Y. forum participants have also documented the ongoing construction of Gehry’s Beekman tower; clad with an amazing undulating stainless steel facade, that has to be seen to be believed.
what’s the point at last?
amazing building, i am so impressed !!! i loved the 3 buildings made in NY from Richard Meier but since i saw this one… for me is the best one from all the city !!
