Realizing Zaha Hadid’s Vision on the High Line
520 WEST 28TH MANHATTAN, NY
520 West 28th is Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid’s
first contribution to the New York skyline, located directly on the
High Line in the heart of West Chelsea’s thriving arts district.
Influenced by parallel practices that surround architecture,
such as art, urbanism, and design, Hadid designed a property
whose lines speak to natural form and contemporary function.
The design engages with the urban fabric while concepts of
fluid spatial flow create a dynamic new living environment. The
building represents Hadid’s complete vision for modern living,
and exemplifies her sculptural design style with the distinctive
chevron pattern that embraces interlacing layers of curved glass
and stainless steel.
The 11-story boutique condominium includes 39 residences. The
unique two- to five-bedroom homes feature interiors that seamlessly
integrate the sculptural nature of the building’s exterior, creating
one monumental piece of art. The carefully curated materials and
craftsman construction techniques are essential in executing
Hadid’s iconic design. Floor-to-ceiling curved windows eliminate
right-angle corners and frame interesting views of the skyline
and High Line, while outdoor spaces are thoughtfully integrated
through setback terraces and expansive balconies.
520 West 28th is also home to the first private IMAX theater
in New York City, as well as a 75-foot sky-lit saline-system pool
and adjoining private spa suite, fitness center, entertainment
lounge and High Line terrace. The building also offers innovative
automated robotic parking and storage.
With its compelling design and prominent location, 520 West
28th offers residents an unprecedented opportunity: to live within
a true work or art, and the only New York building designed by
one of the world’s most celebrated architects.
