Instead, the West 57th residential tower uses a completely different and never-seen-before architectural design, with a slope facing the south-west side. Designed by Bjarke Ingels and his team, the tower is a hybrid. The building makes use of balconies for each home to let in maximum natural lighting. That\u2019s not all. The south-west facing slope also nestles in a green space that helps keep the temperatures in check and also add to the building\u2019s green look. The cleverly designed green space sits snug, and fits in perfectly with the buildings unique sloping fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nWith that, architecture is all set to change, with trees now being included on building fa\u00e7ade! Maybe solar panels, solar windows, some wind turbines and a waste-water treatment system could help make this residential tower in the heart of New York a greener place to live in.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0211\/08\/West-57th-residential-tower-2.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0211\/08\/West-57th-residential-tower-2.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=728,height=404,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/West-57th-residential-tower-2-thumb-450x249.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"249\" alt=\"West-57th-residential-tower-2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0211\/08\/West-57th-residential-tower-3.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0211\/08\/West-57th-residential-tower-3.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=728,height=442,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/West-57th-residential-tower-3-thumb-450x273.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"273\" alt=\"West-57th-residential-tower-3.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0211\/08\/West-57th-residential-tower-4.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0211\/08\/West-57th-residential-tower-4.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=728,height=391,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/West-57th-residential-tower-4-thumb-450x241.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"241\" alt=\"West-57th-residential-tower-4.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/inhabitat.com\/big-unveils-radically-sloped-west-57-residential-tower-in-nyc-today\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Inhabitat<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of New York might just have yet another beautiful building added on to its already towering skyline, though this one sure doesn\u2019t stick to the block-like structural design.
