18 August 2017
The latest apartment block to rise up over Hudson Yards, the 28 acre mega-project that sits atop the old rail yards in the far western reaches of midtown Manhattan, is One Hudson Yards developed by Related Companies, a gleaming, gridded 33-storey, amenity-packed stone-and-glass tower with 178 rental units, designed by Davis Brody Bond.

One Hudson Yards
18 August 2017
Andre Kikoski, is the Manhattan-based architect who conceived the tower’s lavish interiors. ‘For us, luxury is emotional, not transactional, so we were thrilled when the developer gave us the freedom to work with craftspeople around the world to produce never before seen materials that convey sophisticated, contemporary grandeur,’ says Kikoski, who designed two models apartments in the building: one with three bedrooms for a family, in soft botanical tones and textures, a palette inspired by the flora and materials of High Line below, and the other a one bedroom with city skyline and river vistas, conceived for a sophisticated bachelor and entrepreneur. 'The look is fresh and unconstrained,’ he says. And suitably seductive.

At ground level copper panels bring warmth to the street, while wood grained window inserts set residencies slightly back, adding a layer of privacy for residents. Relatively small compared to some of the glass monolithic boxes springing up across the island, the 11-storey façade is defined by its charcoal hued aluminium grid and prides itself on its approachable and suburban style of design.
