Developed in partnership with chinese developer Vanke and Aby Rosen of RFR, the elegant building created by famous architects,  Foster Partners explores the dynamic between its urban side and its skyline. In the spirit of Mies’s philosophy of rationality, simplicity and clarity, this luxury condo has a slender, minimalist geometric form, designed to complement and fit these distinguished neighbors.

Formally, it responds to the precedent set by two neighboring twentieth-century modernist icons – som’s 21-storey lever house of 1952 and mies van der rohe’s 38-storey seagram building of 1958. Access is decided by a recess beneath a canopy that sits harmoniously alongside the entrance and pavilion of the seagram building. The entry sequence continues on a single plane from the street to announce a glazed atrium that joins the tower to a smaller building on the right.

The smaller building has a bar and restaurant, a spa and swimming pool. The tower contains lounge areas and apartment levels. Some of the larger apartments of this residential real estate,  occupy the entire floor area of the higher levels.The tower’s slender form creates a narrow floor plate, allowing the interior spaces to be flooded with daylight in order to create  spectacular views across the city from every side.

Scheduled to open by 2017, international practice foster + partners‘ ‘100 e 53rd street’ luxury residential tower will rise at 61-storeys on the corner of lexington and 53rd street in midtown manhattan.

To preserve the smooth appearance of the facade, opening vents in the glazing flap is positioned inward
