LANTERN HOUSE
AN ARCHITECTURAL FEAT OVERLOOKING NEW YORK CITY
An architecturally striking condominium building with plenty of star power to boot, Lantern House, perched along the High Line at 515 West 18th Street, is the first residential project in North America by Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed designer of Hudson Yards’ Vessel. Comprised of 181 elegantly appointed residences, Lantern House is slated to welcome residents in the fourth quarter of 2020. It includes a 22-storey west building and a 10-storey east building, conjoined by a dramatic glass lobby pavilion. Its impressive façade features hand-laid antiqued grey brickwork and a reinvented three-dimensional bay window that maximises light. This connects beautifully with the interiors by March & White, which are inspired by the history of the neighbourhood, complete with warm natural materials, elegant custom finishes, solid core wood doors and integrated appliances – all under striking 10.75-foot-high ceilings.
Outside, residents are able roam around the expansive courtyards planted with maple and magnolia trees that flank a 1,900sqft free-standing glass-walled lobby pavilion. Surrounding the garden are facilities the likes of a library lounge with fireplace, a spectacular rooftop sundeck, a coworking lounge, a 20-guest private dining suite, and a two-storey health club curated by fitness giant Equinox that features a 75-foot long swimming pool, a hot tub, traditional and infrared saunas, a yoga and stretching room, a private training room. It’s all set to satiate the needs of even the most discerning resident.
坐落在紐約High Line 515號西第18街的Lantern House是一座引人注目的建築，亦是打造哈德森廣場新地標Vessel的著名設計師Thomas Heatherwick首個北美住宅項目。Lantern House由181個裝修精美的住宅組成，計劃將於2020年第四季開放入住，建築包括一幢22層高的西樓和10層高的東樓，並由一個極具戲劇感的玻璃大廳相連繫。大樓以人手鋪砌的仿古灰色磚體作外牆結構，再配合經重新潢繹的立體凸窗，達到自然又充足的採光效果。讓人一見難忘的建築外立面與March & White的構思互相輝映，後者的設計靈感源自當地歷史文化，以溫暖的天然材料、優雅的訂制飾面、實芯木門和組合式電器，細緻地點綴著達10.75呎之高的樓底空間。
戶外方面，住戶可環繞種滿楓樹和木蘭樹的寬敞院子漫步，內裡還設有一個1,900呎的獨立式中央玻璃涼亭。花園四周建有多元化設施，例如附壁爐的圖書館休息室、壯觀的日光浴屋頂平台、共享工作休息室、能容納20位客人的私人用餐套房，以及由健身界巨亨Equinox策劃的兩層健身俱樂部，當中建有75呎長游泳池、一個熱水浴池、傳統和紅外線桑拿浴室、瑜伽伸展室和私人培訓室，以滿足居住者的不同需求。
