Beekman Tower

Description

The Beekman Tower is set on a 42,000 sq. ft. site in lower Manhattan. The building is a 75-story mixed-use tower, which houses a New York City Public School, office space for the New York Downtown Hospital, and over nine hundred residential units.

The classical proportions of the tower are conforming to the New York City setback rules creating a tall wedding cake design typical in the city. The wall of the tower undulates in soft folds reminiscent of fabric. The apartment windows perforate this sculptural stainless steel cladding. As the windows move out into the apex of the folds they create bay windows with window seats on the apartment interiors.

Each floor of the tower has a unique configuration, due to the undulating facade. Each residential unit will have a unique shape where it connects with the exterior façade.
