Designed by Richard Meier, one of the "New York Five" architects who came to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970's for their adoption of the clean and bright lines of Le Corbusier, these "mini" "twins" attracted many celebrities and significantly reinforced the lower Hudson River waterfront as the neighborhood of choice for the "hip" and "chic" and rich. (The other four architects of the "New York Five" were Charles Gwathmey, Peter Eisenman, Michael Graves and John Hedjuk.) Internationally acclaimed architect Richard Meier brings his modernist signature to the New York City Skyline with 173/176 Perry Street, a pair of minimalist transparent towers overlooking the Hudson River in the historic West Village. 173/176 Perry Street is Meier's first building in Manhattan. Set for completion in late 2001, the towers will be heralded as an architectural landmark and considered the centerpiece of the West Side and its new Hudson River Park. For the consummate design statement, residents can experience the architect's total vision through his exclusive interior design plans. The exterior of the building is composed of insulated and acoustical clear glass. The seamless panes provide each full-floor condominium with stunning, panoramic views in a spectacular celebration of light and space, a Meier hallmark. In addition, star chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, owner of Vong and his self-titled restaurant in the Trump Central Park Hotel, will create a cafe-restaurant in the lobby of number 176. The area that surrounds 173/176 Perry Street is one of New York's great neighborhoods: the historic West Village. Cobblestone streets still pave most of the roads. Through the quiet streets and lanes, some of New York's finest restaurants, shops, and nightspots abound. Also, the City of New York has recently completed a new Park along the Hudson River which will serve as the backdrop to the towers. From the panoramic views of city, to the historic neighborhood, the 24 hour concierge, the fitness center, and the high-speed data capabilities, it is no wonder why 173/176 Perry Street will be a landmark for residential living in Manhattan.
