Near the UN...
American architect Richard Meier has unveiled the design for an apartment block on New York's East River, eschewing his signature white palette for black glass facades, dezeen.com reports.
The 42-storey tower will sit on the corner of 39th Street at 685 First Avenue, a few blocks south of where my office with IBM World Trade was many years ago when we were across from United Nations headquarters.
Unlike most buildings by Pritzker Prize-winner Meier, which include the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art and the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the tower will feature black frames and dark glass, according to dezeen.com.
The monolithic block will comprises 828,000 square feet (76,900 square metres) and include 556 apartments, split into two-thirds rental properties and one-third condominiums.
