800 feet a few blocks from the Brooklyn Bridge will be difficult to see.
It’s just not tall enough, I’m afraid.

Architect David Adjaye Talks 130 William Street As Work Pushes Above Ground, Financial District





Quote:
Concrete is finally starting to rise for the soon-to-be 800-foot tall residential tower at 130 William Street in the Financial District. The building has surpassed the significant brunt of foundational work, and is now beginning to progress above ground level. Sir David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates is responsible for the design.

Our last report on the project detailed a redesign, moving away from a limestone façade to where it is now. The black lava-like stone has a pumiced texture that is designed to cast deep shadows when in direct light. This unique relationship with the sun will give it the appearance of being darker, depending on the condition of the sunlight, without altering the raw material.

Each floor angles slightly, accentuating the idea of stacking up homes to create a visual paradox by emphasizing the delicate balance required for such a monumental addition to the skyline. To use the architect’s own words, the building will add, “another quality to the skyline, it’s own signature and own feel.”

Twelve to fifteen hundred handmade panels will eventually be installed on the building. The arches along the façade will be load-bearing, making this building a favorable contender for a world record of most structural arches in one building. When asked to comment directly about the arch style, architect David Adjaye said he had looked to the buildings in Brooklyn and Manhattan built during the 19th century while the city profited as the most significant port in North America.


Hill West Architects is the architect of record, and the Lightstone Group is responsible for the development. Corcoran Sunshine is handling sales and marketing.

Completion is expected by spring of 2020.

They couldn't have put up one of the nice renderings on the hoarding?

That render looks like something I would have drawn.
As a kid growing up, I used to draw soaring skyscrapers.
Just pen & paper.
No computer, no Internet, just freehand drawing.

That's hilarious. It looks like the white space was blank and someone walking along the street stopped and sketched in the skyscraper.

So this is the outcome the genius NYC building code leaves us with. Absurd.

Amazing how this won't really stand out. Just was thinking about how 99 Hudson seems so dominant, but this is quite pale. Nevertheless, a "new tallest for many cities" thats rising as a filler here.

I might not be properly contextualizing your use of "dark"; but you do realize that it'll have an almost blackish complexion based on current renderings.

And for where it is in the DT node, I find it a bit hard to swallow to that something 13 feet shorter than none other than 1CMP/28 Liberty doesn't somehow insinuate itself therein(to).

But by the same token, it seems to me that while you correctly observe that thiswould be a new tallest by far in a lot of mid-size American cities, the overall architecture doesn't seem to resonate with that kind of swagger, if you will...

Scale models by radii inc

https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...g?format=1500w

How do I upload images in my post? radii inc has some scale models I'd like to include but this forum makes the process of including images very onerous and not worth the effort.

Have a feeling this will be ugly A.F. (like most of Adjaye's buildings, frankly).

Would bet it ends up looking like one of those ugly-ass black 1970s rectanglescrapers. Brutal without specifically being Brutalist.
