Light-reflective finishes are softly toned and complement the interior with materials like white marble and acid-etched mirrored cabinets. Units themselves were made with warm white oak floors. Upon entry, spaces are clad in lozenge-shaped black granite tiles with a light gray terrazzo floor. The tower’s interiors feature contrasting materials and color palettes between amenity spaces and individual residential units. The firm also custom designed chandeliers for the 6th floor amenity spaces, manufactured by Patrick Nash Design. Custom designed pendant lamps by Herzog & de Meuron were made for all residential kitchens, and were manufactured by Maison Lucien Gau. Elegant fixtures highlight exposed concrete slab ceilings that rise between 11 and 19 feet in the units. Lighting was considered through both natural light through slab to slab glazing and refined interior lighting plans. Manufactured by Maison Lucien Gau and Patrick Nash Design On the interior, exposed in-situ concrete columns reveal the scale of structural forces working on the interior. These are read on the exterior through shifts in its structure, where exposed horizontal concrete slabs register the floor-by-floor stacking of the construction process. Built with a range of units, from 6,000 square-foot penthouse apartments to 650 square-foot studios, the building was organized into seven zones. Standing at 831 feet tall, 56 Leonard Street was made with 145 condominiums across the reinforced concrete structure. The result is an iconic 21st century addition to the New York skyline. While a diverse team of contractors, designs and collaborators worked on the tower, the project also brought together a range of manufacturers that made the design vision a reality. Built to avoid repetition and anonymity, the project was inspired by local construction methods to create shifting floor slabs with balconies, corners and cantilevers. 56 Leonard Street holds a slim profile with incredible views across the city. Its design marked the emergence of New York luxury residential towers. Designed from the inside out to give identity to each apartment, the tower’s appearance varies greatly depending on individual vantage points. Built with executive architects Hill West, the tower rises from its Lower Manhattan surroundings with a base reacting to the scale and conditions of the street, while the top undulates to merge with the sky. Part formal balancing act and part tuned envelope, Herzog & de Meuron’s 56 Leonard Street has established itself as a landmark in Tribeca.
