Borrowing from SOM’s classic designs for Lever House and Chase Manhattan Bank, this building begins with a strong, clear form that derives directly from its program.

Changing sky conditions and the surrounding Manhattan context interact with the building’s exterior skin, resulting in an ever-changing visual phenomenon. This changing composition is achieved by an assemblage of semi-reflective, low-iron vision glass and reflective vertical fins which together, add visual depth to the surface of the building and provide shifting readings depending on viewer perspective and daylight conditions.
