Five Manhattan West

Redevelopment-of-Five-Manhattan-West-by-REX-01

Five Manhattan West is a repositioning, re-cladding, and interior renovation of a 1,500,000 sf Manhattan Brutalist landmark directly adjacent to the Hudson Yards and Manhattan West developments.

I was a member of the small design and development team for this project at REX Architecture. I worked on various aspects of the design throughout the conceptual design, schematic design, and design development phases. I’ve included here a small selection of project images. For a full project brief and complete project narrative follow the link below to the project page on REX’s website.
