The building stand on a crossroad 7th Ave and 54th street, New York. This place in midtown Manhattan is only in 5th blocks from Central park and 7th blocks from Times Square. Most serrounding buldings are tall. Most of them was build on 1st part of 20th century. Created tower trying to be part of the city, with brick facade on ground element, and more modern top element.
There are no green area in the centre of Manhattan, that is why it was decided to create a vertical garden on the building. A vertical garden is occupies 22 floors of the building and because of its shape it retains sunlight on the street.
The tower consist of three elements with different textures of facade.
Between ground and top elements the tower have thin reinforced concrete core covered by mirror. This element creates a levitation effect of top element.
Also, the shape of the building airy and make light action to surrounding city.
