“A living space should be a sanctuary. It has to be a place where you can reflect on your life.” – Tadao Ando
NOWNESS has released a new video, this time interviewing the legendary Japanese architect Tadao Ando about his first New York building: Ichigoni 152. Planned to replace a parking garage on the corner of Kenmare and Elizabeth Street in Manhattan‘s Nolita, the seven-story, seven-residence building aims to embody the energy of living in New York, while maintaining its role a “quite” and “sensitive” place of refuge for its inhabitants. “I would like to create something that only a Japanese person could do,” says Ando. ”It’s about sensitivity.”
