One High Line by Bjarke Ingels’ BIG completes in New York, including a home interior by designer Dan Fink
campground hotel – define the exterior composition. However, the 'twisting' effect was not a mere aesthetic decision; the shapes were engineered to achieve the best possible vista for the residents of each apartment.
'The façade design is inspired by the punched windows seen in the historic warehouses of the Meatpacking and West Chelsea neighbourhoods. The façade patterning functions as an honest expression of the gridded structural logic of the building, which steps to follow the movement of the towers’ geometry. The travertine stone is in a way a tribute to Gordon Bunshaft and his Solow Building and Grace Building, both not far away,' says Ingels.
'Our site is blessed because it has The High Line on one side, and the Hudson River on the other side. It’s really breathtaking, and from an architect’s point of view it’s incredible to get a whole city block. We wanted to see if we could discover an architecture that could be both the character of Chelsea but at the same time do something that would be true to its time when the neighbourhood is full of creativity and ideas about architecture.
The exterior effect of motion and geometry is softened inside, where drama gives way to subtler tones and refined, luxurious materials as well as the views take centre stage. Large, floor-to-ceiling glazed openings pull those vistas in, bring together The High Line's greenery, the waters, and New York's iconic cityscape in every home.
'The building that Bjarke designed is so elegant, with its embracing pairs of towers and glistening water views. I wanted the interiors to reflect that kind of natural grace and beauty. We chose furnishings in simple, sophisticated shapes, covered in easy materials and a soft palate. It feels calm to be and live there, floating above The High Line and the river,' says Fink.
