520 W 28th St. By Zaha Hadid, NY

This magnificent residential apartment complex hovers above New York’s High Line in West Chelsea, New York’s Arts and Cultural district. 520 W 28th was designed by Zaha Hadid but Ismael Leyva Architects actually functioned as the architects of this project due to licensing requirements.

This property is of particular magnificence because it is Zaha’s imprint on the city of New York. The black facade is surrounded by glass and graceful curves that exude elegance at every turn. The building is state of the art and sets a new bar and standard for beauty in residential architecture.
