Architecture studio CetraRuddy has created a skyscraper in New York's Rockefeller Center with a chevron-patterned facade that pays homage to the surrounding art deco buildings.
Called Rose Hill Tower, the 45-storey residential skyscraper climbs to a height of over 600 feet (183 metres) in Manhattan's NoMad neighbourhood.
Rose Hill Tower was designed with an art deco-informed facade
It is located in the city's Rockefeller Center, a complex of buildings in Midtown Manhattan that includes 14 original art deco buildings, a decadent visual style that dates back to 1910.
Bronze in colour, Rose Hill was designed by CetraRuddy and developed for Rockefeller Group to echo this existing architecture and features a chevron-patterned facade and a "sculpted crown" at its top. The skyscraper is topped with a geometric crown
"Rose Hill's design tips its hat to the classic New York City skyscrapers of the early 20th-century from the 1920s up until the 1940s," CetraRuddy co-founder Nancy J Ruddy told Dezeen.
"The tower responds to that legacy with its embrace of dynamic geometries and crafted materials."
Interior spaces are designed to be flexible
CetraRuddy also designed the interiors for the project, which includes 121 homes that range from studio apartments to four-bedroom apartments.
Both dark and light wood features in Rose Hill's interiors, as well as marble accents in the bathroom and custom kitchen cabinetry.
