The Bryant | A Unique Opportunity to Live in Bryant Park (2)π³
The Bryant is surrounded by historic landmark buildings. πΈπ Its design employs more robust and durable construction, with most of its masonry facades respecting the environment while asserting its own identity in the city. π βͺοΈThe pure architectural form of the tower is achieved using polished precast concrete panels and columns according to a structural grid. Adjustments to the floor-to-ceiling heights of the ground floor, sixth floor, and penthouse apartments create a subtle three-part composition of base, shaft, and crown, referencing the classical order of nearby buildings. πΈπ The base spans the full width of the site, containing a double-height ground floor and the first four floors of the hotel. The footprint is reduced, with increased floor-to-ceiling heights for the hotel bar and lounge levels, marking the beginning of the central section. πΈπThis setback creates an outdoor terrace for both hotel guests and residents, while maintaining the facade pattern of alternating mid- and high-rise buildings along 40th Street. The double-height spaces of the two penthouse apartments at the top of the tower form the crown. #NewYork ππ
