QUOTE swiss architects herzog and de mueron recently revealed their design for 56 leonard street, their first residential tower in new york city. the 57 story building is designed with each floor stacked on top of one another, each one slightly askew to create dramatic cantilevers. the architects have also paid special attention to the building’s impression on ground level, by creating the feeling of permeability through cantilevered sections and a commissioned sculpture by artist anish kapoor. the piece is mirrored stainless steel which appears to be wedged into an opening at the foot of the building. the building was designed with five key zones: lobby, ‘townhouse’ residences, amenities, tower residences, and penthouses. the lobby will feature a private mall for residences, while the amenities level will house a 75-foot infinity edge pool and outdoor sun deck, in addition to fitness centre and screening room. each residence will have its own outdoor space and interiors design by the architects. homes in the building will range from 1,430 square feet to 6,380 square feet, with a price range from .5 million to million. the building is expected to be done by the end of 2010.       i wanna live in that. |

QUOTE the 57 story building is designed with each floor stacked on top of one another, each one slightly askew to create dramatic cantilevers. get what im sayin ? about living in there; i'd really think about it but i have to admit it it looks awesome, i love it |
