355 Hudson Yards is a 11-story luxury Condominium residential building with ground floor retail and community facilities. It is located within the Special Hudson Yards District at the westside of midtown Manhattan.
The design, while staying simple and contextual in scale and materials, looks to break free from a typical mid-block box to celebrate the southwest view the site afforded. South facing staggered Juliet balconies step up as the tower rises and are transformed into a series of generous terraces for the upper penthouse floors. This approach creates a strong rhythm on the facade and unique silhouette. The building’s design includes amenities such as Gym/Yoga, a Lounge /Recreation space that is connected to a landscaped outdoor garden. Bike storage as well as general storage space are also provided.
