Overview

The first monograph on The Greenwich, designed by the Uruguayan Rafael Viñoly, an opulent residential building in New York’s most iconic architectural neighborhood. 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. 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.
