What if the edge could connect?
FLAT is the flush window born from a deep dedication to design; it speaks the language of architects, integrating seamlessly into diverse contexts.
The 1992 Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Álvaro Siza showed the 450-foot-tall residential tower on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, between Riverside Park and Central Park.
The tower rises from a thicker base, with a 53-foot high windowless block. According with Siza iconic style, the building is clad entirely in Perla Bianca limestone, chosen to create a contrast with other towers in the area, with dark or mostly glass facades. The white facade – sober and regular – is punctuated by over-sized windows, which provide views of Manhattan and over the Hudson River.
The 35-storey building houses residences ranging from one to four bedrooms including “maisonettes" and a grand penthouse. The interiors were designed by New York studio Gabellini Sheppard Associates.
