Here's a sneak peek inside Bjarke Ingels' Manhattan "courtscraper"

The construction-watching site Field Condition recently got to step inside New York City’s most anticipated new building. Yes, of course we are talking about Bjarke Ingels‘ pyramid-like W57 that is scheduled to open next year. As we have written recently, the structure has topped out and its enclosure is well on its way, but we’re just now getting a sense of what things will look like inside.

Field Condition wrote: “A grand stair is centrally located in the lobby and brings residents up to the courtyard space, while sheltering the mail room tucked underneath. The courtyard’s landscape design will employ a gradient of plantings to evoke a range of spaces, from a meadow to a shaded forest. In addition to the large central courtyard, amenities for the residents include a basketball court, pool, gym, cinema room and golf simulator.”

While the interiors are far from complete, the courtyard is all framed out, as are the apartments’ terraces that fit inside the building’s sloped facade. Head on over to Field Condition for more pics inside Bjarke’s unique addition to New York City.
