Excavation and foundation work are in full swing at 360 Bowery, the site of a new 22-story commercial building we designed in Noho. Standing taller than most nearby structures, the office tower’s tiered volume subtly twists, drawing reference to the different scales within its historic urban-industrial context while also responding to the neighborhood’s newer additions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Designed to maximize views, 360 Bowery's façade is essentially a field of openings. The custom, high-performance unitized curtain wall system features dark gray painted aluminum frames and blush-colored GFRC spandrel panels in a fluted pattern that gets tighter as it moves up the building. Single-pane windows, measuring roughly 5’x10’, are inset within 10” metal fins. These deep, dark frames add a layer of shadows, further articulating the façade. As a lighter counterpoint, the building's corners are open and airy with a structural joint hidden behind the glass.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #morrisadjmiarchitects #archilovers #architecture #360bowery #bowery #newyorkcity #commercialrealestate #noho #excavation #nycconstruction #ontherise
