Chipperfield new york

The Bryant is a storey mixed-use tower building located on the south-west corner of Bryant Park, a nine-acre public park in Midtown Manhattan. Surrounded by historic landmark buildings, it faces the New York Public Library to the north, and is situated near the celebrated Beaux-Arts style Knox Building to the east.

The building comprises a hotel that extends to the 13th floor, with private residences above. These two components are served by two separate lobbies at street level, with retail on both sides of each entrance animating the street front.

The building articulates three separate parts following the traditional tripartite composition of the New York tower: base, middle and crown. The Bryant has a base that fills the plot and steps back after a few levels, to create an outdoor rooftop terrace on one side of the building.

At the very top is a crown, stepped back even further and containing two penthouses with private terraces. Due to its location near the library and the Beaux-Arts style Knox Building, David Chipperfield Architects had to make sure the concrete facade did not look out of place. This concrete continues as terrazzo walls in the interiors of The Bryant, where the apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows. To keep the perimeter free and maximise the views, built-in furniture is designed to hide appliances and provide discreet storage.

Selected apartments have already been dressed, including one on the 24th floor by curatorial firm Standard Arts and another by the online design retailer Radnor.
