125 Greenwich Street by Rafael Vinoly, New York, USA |
|
At 125 Greenwich Street, on the corner of Greenwich and Thames streets in Lower Manhattan, Viñoly resisted the architectural trend to build pencil-thin and sky-high, maximizing zoning height allowances. In an unconventional approach to current residential tower design in New York City, the 125 Greenwich Street design opts for a shorter building with a larger floor plate, a context-sensitive solution that also creates more generous apartment layouts. With a rounded corner and a glass façade on the perimeter of the site, the parallelogram-shaped tower creates a landmark residential project just two blocks south of the World Trade Center site, in the heart of a growing cultural, business, and residential district. |
