The Greenwich

<b>The first monograph on The Greenwich, designed by the Uruguayan Rafael Viñoly, an opulent residential building in New York’s most iconic architectural neighborhood.</b><br><br>Downtown Manhattan, with its classical limestone facades and monolithic super-towers, has always been one of New York’s most iconic architectural neighborhoods. In recent years, it has also become a high-level residential area. Enter The Greenwich, a huge real estate investment from Italian building company Bizzi & Partners, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects. The architect’s iconic work has included prestigious buildings in New York, from 432 Park to the Ritz-Carlton and Jazz at Lincoln Center. With The Greenwich, the firm has created a sophisticated modern landmark. The Greenwich’s eighty-eight stories include different-sized apartments—from studios to three-bedrooms—flooded with abundant natural light and providing a range of skyline views. On the uppermost levels, floating 800 feet in the sky, over 15,000 square feet of amenities are available to every resident, creating an elevated members-club-like atmosphere. The sixteenth floor expands on the offerings with an additional 7,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor features.<br><br>This monograph for lovers of contemporary architecture, edited by Philip Jodidio, includes interviews with Viñoly and original material provided by his studio, with drawings and plans, a stunning photo shoot of the finished building by Evan Joseph, and an informative introduction by New York author Malika Leiper.
