Bjarke Ingels Group<\/a> unveils the conceptual design for a new skyscraper called The Spiral, located at the intersection of the High Line and the newly developed Hudson Boulevard Park on Manhattan\u2019s new western frontier, extends the green space of the former train tracks in a spiraling motion towards the sky \u2013 from High Line to the skyline.
\nThe 1005 ft high-rise is a unique hybrid that intertwines a continuous green pathway with workspaces on every level. The chain of amenity spaces and terraces originates at The Spiral\u2019s main entrance on 34th street and Hudson Boulevard. The spiral wraps around the tower, which becomes gradually slimmer towards the top. This creates unique floor configurations that will cater to a diverse community of tenants making the building a lively place for businesses of different scales \u2013 giving tenants a stake in the buildings iconic skyline presence. Inside, every terrace becomes a double height atrium with impressive views over Manhattan, offering a more informal setting for meetings, events and recreational activities. These spaces connect multiple levels in the building, offering an alternative to elevators to encourage physical activity and interaction amongst colleagues. The Spiral sets a new standard for the contemporary workplace, where nature becomes an integrated part of the work environment while spatial features are continuously adaptable to the changing needs of the tenants and their organizations.
\nThe stepping form of The Spiral echoes the architecture of New York City\u2019s classic stepped setback skyscrapers and is the natural evolutionary step in the Tishman Speyer portfolio. The silhouette of The Spiral resonates with the iconic architecture of Rockefeller Center while its modern materials and detailing place it at the forefront of contemporary high-rise design on a path to become a future classic on the Manhattan skyline.<\/p>\n
