Manhattan, New York
With the rich history of the area and its location within the rapidly changing NoMad district, FR-EE’s proposal for a new tower brings innovative architecture into the fabric of New York City, from the streetscape to the skyline.
The proposed tower is compressed at its center, places a conventional massing on the North of the site, and creates a public plaza on the South side. The manipulation and pinching of the form in the middle of the tower is a direct reflection of its program. The lower levels are allocated to a hotel with a selection of curated upscale restaurants and shops, while the upper levels are reserved for residential, one and two-story apartments.
