As architect for the exterior of this 273-unit apartment
building complex, Robert Cane was given the challenge
of incorporating four 19th century row houses into the
new structure. His design respects the detailing of the
old buildings and their scale (the 23-story tower on 42nd
Street and the 10-story 43rd Street wing are united by
a 4-story base.) The tower’s west façade
is a gently curved metal and glass curtain wall, accentuated
by a deep red color on window mullions and floor slab
covers. Marking the entrance is a steel and glass canopy
suspended from the fourth floor on long cables. |
