Swiss studio Herzog & de Meuron and American developer Ian Schrager have released new renderings of their latest collaboration ? a curvy residential tower overlooking New York's Hudson River (+ slideshow).
Sales launched today for 160 Leroy, a 49-unit, 15-storey building that spans a full city block in the West Village neighbourhood.

Prices range from $2.5 million (ÂŁ1.7 million) for one-bedroom units to $25 million (ÂŁ17.3 million) for a five-bedroom apartment, with the penthouse price yet to be listed. The building is set to open next year.

"Schrager identified the site of 160 Leroy as the last chance to create an important contemporary addition to this special neighborhood and possibly the last chance to own a home on the water in the West Village," said his company, which is based in New York.
Early images of the project were first unveiled in 2014, and Dezeen revealed more information about the building in a story last November.
Rising from a white concrete plinth, Herzog & de Meuron's design features an undulating facade of large windows framed by white concrete.

The exterior form was inspired by the late Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who once said he was ?attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves? as opposed to straight lines.
