The highly anticipated 130 William, Adjaye Associates’ first residential high-rise scheme in New York, has just announced its completion. The project, which spans 66 storeys and features distinctive, hand-cast skin, dark colour tones and a grid of arches, is set to define its Lower Manhattan neighbourhood, and the overall city skyline, through its confidence and unique take on high-rise and minimalist architecture. Following hot on the heels of the launch of the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, also by Adjaye, the project marks 'a new benchmark for luxury living', said Scott J Avram, developer Lightstone’s senior vice president.
