zaha hadid joins the architectural map of the high line with her first project in new york. the architect was commissioned by related companies, the city’s leading residential developer to envision an 11-storey luxury condominium along diller scofidio + renfro-designed elevated park, positioned at 520 west 28th street in chelsea, just south of the hudson yards.

hadid’s design creates an interplay between the city and the urban green space, which is expressed through the exterior’s chevron pattern. the merging of outdoors with the indoors is indicated by the horizontal V-shaped lines which frame and wraparound the expansive terraces of the units, with extensive amounts of glazing continue this connection between park and urban city environment. a total of 37 units will be housed within, each measuring up to 5,500 square feet, offering gracious amounts of living space.

a number of elevator cores will be integrated throughout for accessibility, allowing residents to move easily throughout the building, while many of the individual suites will feature a private entrance and vestibule in order to maintain the necessary privacy. owners will be welcomed into the condo by a double-height entrance lobby which will provide views beyond the communal spaces and outdoor garden. amenities will include an indoor pool and spa, entertainment space, playrooms and a generous rooftop terrace.

‘our design is an integration of volumes that flow into each other and, following a coherent formal language, create the sensibility of the building’s overall ensemble,’ explains zaha hadid. ‘with an arrangement that reinvents the spatial experience, each residence will have its own distinctive identity, offering multiple perspectives and exciting views of the neighborhood.’
