A New Twist On Skyscrapers,

and these are twisted!


all images are by Evan Joseph, the 300-foot (91 metres) and 400-foot (122 metres) towers on Manhattan's west side are now completed, with amenity spaces designed by New York architecture office Gabellini Sheppard and Paris-based studio Gilles & Boissier,

they are the work of Danish architecture studio BIG located in the blocks between the High Line elevated pathway and the Hudson River, the One High Line project includes the 36-floor West Tower and the 26-floor East Tower, in total, they host 236 condominiums as well as amenities such as a pool, gym and dining area,

"The sculptural form of One High Line is a direct response to the site's historic industrial heritage and contemporary architecture," said BIG founder Bjarke Ingels. "The two towers are reshaped from top to bottom to open reciprocal views of the High Line promenade and the Hudson River. Shaped by the forces around it – to the east and west, at the High Line and the skyline – One High Line is a sculptural manifestation of its striking urban environment."

artwork throughout the space was curated by Miami Institute of Contemporary Art director Alex Gartenfeld, the East Tower will also host a proposed 120-room Faena hotel, restaurant and spa, according to the team, it will serve as the brand's NYC flagship, I have to say the twist certainly makes them look different!
