Developer Sheldon Solow’s new residential 42 story, 460-foot high all-black glass tower. A taut curtain wall is incised with modular subdivisions, articulated with selective metal panel elements in the forms of balconies, canopies and corners. Window bays and modules are maximized in size to full floor-to-floor heights, altogether eliminating any horizontal or vertical shadow panels, joints and reveals, and mullion profiles that keep the facade open and elegant. A minimalist expression relating to the Le Corbusier United Nations building nearby. Principal Dukho Yeon, Associate Principal Stefan Scheiber, Architect William Smith, Senior Designer Ivan Andelson, Model fabricators Graham Kervin & Alexander Gault.
