The two incoming luxury buildings on the west side of Lafayette between Great Jones and Bond continue to show up the rest of the developments around here with their speedy construction pace …
In particular, the 7-floor 10 Bond Street is getting all glassy…
… and workers have attached the first of the building's wavy terra cotta steel panels on the facade …
Terra cotta panels aren't the only interesting feature for these condo homes. As Curbed noted, the building's windows will have exterior, automated sun shields. No word on what becomes of the unwanted glare.

Cool.
ReplyDeleteI for one is glad to applied facades returning to buildings after decades of all that "form, function.... stuff. Look at the best EV buildings and usually there is a bunch of cement, stone or terra cotta faces staring back at you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, saw this the other day. Threw up in my mouth a little bit.

These are either steel or terra cotta, not both.
ReplyDeleteTerra Cotta is a ceramic, glazed or unglazed, that can take on many forms and colors. These panels look to be an enameled steel.
It's so sad to not be able to see the upper facade of the building which faces north anymore.
