Five Franklin Place in New York, United States

March 04, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

Five Franklin Place that located in New York, United States , was designed by UNStudio. The building will boast a dramatic, highly decorative exterior inspired equally by the applied metal façades of Tribeca’s 19th century cast iron architecture and such contemporary sources as couture fashion, with its dramatic seams and construction techniques. Gleaming black horizontal ribbons of metal will wrap the façades, twisting and torquing into functional elements – balconies, terraces, and sunshades – and framing views from within the building.

Van Berkel’s horizontal geometries are integrated into the residences of Five Franklin Place, where space is configured to allow the maximum amount of interpretation by those who live inside and key fixtures are custom-designed and streamlined to emphasize the great horizontal planes of windows that offer views of the city and bring light indoors.
