111 West 57th Street represents a commitment to the quality of craft, history, and philosophy behind New York City’s classic skyscrapers. The historic Steinway Hall is reimagined and integrated with a modern new tower designed by SHoP Architects with interior architecture by Studio Sofield. The tower, a slender beacon rising to a soaring 1,428 feet, features features full-floor and duplex condominiums with unparalleled 360-degree views of Central Park and Downtown Manhattan. A façade of terra cotta, glass, and bronze filigree bring back the quality, materiality and details of historic New York towers, while taking advantage of the latest technology to push the limits of engineering and fabrication. With a width to height ratio of 1:24, 111 West 57th Street is the tallest, most slender skyscraper in the world.
It’s practically calligraphic, it will glint on the skyline, thanks to a genuinely opulent exterior finished in terra-cotta and bronze

Restoration
The history of 111 West 57th Street begins with the restoration and adaptation of New York City Landmark Steinway Hall
Historic Steinway Hall was designed by the celebrated firm Warren & Wetmore, whose artistic approach culminated in the classical proportions, carefully carved stonework, and picturesque roofline of the new home to the celebrated piano makers. In 2001, Steinway Hall was designated as a New York City landmark, hailed as a "timeless monument to classical music and architecture."

Through time-honored techniques and materials, JDS Construction restored the landmarked Steinway Hall and interior rotunda. Restoration included replacing the copper roof and lantern, cleaning the limestone, restoring brickwork, gilding decorative features on 57th Street, new double-hung windows, and more.
The comprehensive restoration of the landmarked exterior and rotunda interior utilized time-honored techniques and materials to restore decorative painting and gilding, copper roof and lantern, limestone, brick, and more.
Terracotta
The tower: a slender beacon clad in terracotta and bronze, rising 1,428 feet high
Of all the new towers, it is the only one that gets even more delicate as it rises, ending not with a climactic crown but by almost disappearing into the sky.
Terracotta runs the length of the skyscraper in 26 custom shapes and 6 color variations.

For me, it's considering the sequence of emotional experiences that someone is going to have when they walk through this building.
