Zaha Hadid Architects have released new Hufton+Crow photographs of the recently completed 520 West 28th Street development—and they're pretty stunning.
Standing smack adjacent to Manhattan's famed High Line, the 11-story residential mid-rise is certainly a formidable first project in New York City for ZHA. Since we published initial renderings back in 2013, readers speculated about the quality of the highly animated facade, and these new photographs allow a good glimpse of the impressive workmanship that went into hand-brushing and hand-tinting the curvy steel exterior.
The facade reveals the 21 interlaced split levels in a dramatic fashion, echoing the multiple layers of civic space on 28th Street and the High Line, according to the architects.
The list of amenities and other luxury goodies includes Boffi kitchens by Zaha Hadid Design, private elevator lobbies, sculpture garden, 25-yard sky-lit lap pool, entertainment suite with the world's first private IMAX theater, and—most importantly—a 24-hour juice bar.
