Two months after topping out, Field Condition has published a photographic tour through BIG‘s first New York project, W57. A “courtscraper,” as the Danish practice affectionately calls it, the 32-story, 709-unit tower is a hybrid of the European courtyard block and New York City skyscraper. It’s tetrahedral shape, “born from logic,” is designed to provide every resident in the building’s North Tower to have views of the Hudson River, while allowing sunlight deep into the building’s interior space. View the project from within, after the break.
See more recent images of W57, here on Field Condition.
First Look Inside BIG’s W57 Manhattan Pyramid originally appeared on ArchDaily, the most visited architecture website on 30 Mar 2015.
