Surf-and-turf sure is delicious! We’ve been eagerly awaiting news from Bjarke Ingels’ New York debut on 57th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, and today, the Durst Organization, project developer, has released new details of New York’s mountain-to-be. New York magazine got the exclusive, this weekend revealing a new rendering of the 450-foot-tall apartment tower poised to redefine the architecture of the stodgy box.

Last month, Ingels was guarded in discussing his ambitious plans for New York, but he wasn’t kidding when he told AN of his intention to wed the traditional European courtyard block with an American skyscraper.

And appropriate to Ingels’ emerging philosophy of “bigamy,” exemplified by the classic American surf-and-turf, the new tower simultaneously resembles a snow-capped mountain peak and a white-sailed vessel docked on Manhattan’s west side. 57th Street’s form responds to disparate site conditions with requisite thought and artistry of any BIG project.

Ingels told NY magazine that the building’s form pushes for a “blatant” connection to the Hudson River greenway while responding to multiple challenges on a site clinging to its industrial past, including adjacency to an elevated highway and a parking garage for garbage trucks. The tower slopes and twists to avoid blocking views while also reducing traffic noise.

Just as Ingels promised, the tower features a lush, landscaped courtyard sliced into the middle of the rising mountainside, forming a sort of soft, green oasis along the building’s sharp ascent. Balconies have also been pierced into the facade in a similar manner.

The design still faces a series of regulatory hurdles in coming months, beginning with a community board meeting this Wednesday. We’ll be watching Ingels closely, so stay tuned for a mountain of updates!
