173 and 176 Perry Street are the first two built projects in Manhattan by long-time resident and member of the New York Five, Richard Meier. The 16-story towers stand at the edge of Greenwich Village, facing the Hudson River. The two buildings seem to be aesthetically driven by their location, and the views afforded to their residents. In this project, Meier used perimeter radiant heat in order to keep the floor-to-ceiling views unobstructed, and both towers have their concrete cores facing Manhattan rather than the Hudson for the same reason. Like so many of Meier's successful projects, these two towers have an obvious orientation landmark (in this case the river) without some of which Meier's residential projects seem lost and lacking in direction.
The two buildings feature many of Meier¹s signature design cues, but primarily look like slight variations on a Mies solution for such a problem. The fact that the two towers face a major body of water perhaps further emphasizes the similarity. Location aside, one can't help but quickly see that Meier¹s pendulum, which often swings between Corbusian and Miesian influences, took a decidedly Miesian swing in this case. The framing in the building's façade is Meier¹s trademark white, which gives the buildings a distinctive appearance in the Manhattan skyline. As a result of the white framing, and Meier's understated touch, 173 and 176 Perry Street are decisively elegant though contrary to the materials used in surrounding structures.
