“我们扪心自问，明暗透明的正式理念和哲学，自然光和阴影与形式和空间的相互作用，能否在精确的对立面上被重新解释-白色是所有的颜色，黑色是没有颜色的？”解释梅耶。“我们的观点继续发展，但我们的直觉和意图保持不变-使建筑唤起激情和情感，提升精神，并完美地执行。”

“We asked ourselves, can formal ideas and the philosophy of lightness and transparency, the interplay of natural light and shadow with forms and spaces, be reinterpreted in the precise opposite – white being all colors and black the absence of color?” explains Meier. “Our perspective continues to evolve, but our intuition and intention remain the same – to make architecture that evokes passion and emotion, lifts the spirit, and is executed perfectly.”

该建筑采用极简主义的方法来形成，并对其所考虑的“重要性、亮度、透明度和秩序。”进行了关注。它的外观是光滑的，黑色玻璃幕墙在其东部海拔上呈现一个坚实的图形，仅由27层和28层的建筑切口中断，而在西侧，阳台、遮篷和角落被引入以将高程分解为人为比例的元素。

The building takes a minimalist approach to form, drawing attention to its considered “materiality, lightness, transparency and order.” The facade’s sleek, black-glass curtain wall presents a solid figure on its eastern elevation, interrupted only by an architectural cut-out at the 27th and 28th floors, while on the western side, balconies, canopies and corners have been introduced to break up the elevation into human-scaled elements.

各个窗口模块跨越整个楼层到楼层的高度已细分为一个可操作的窗口面板，连接和揭示系统。建筑师们认为，黑玻璃的使用“统一了façade，为居民提供了隐私，并调整了上下文的反映。”

Individual window modules spanning full floor-to-floor heights have been subdivided into a system of operable window panels, joints and reveals. According to the architects, the use of black glass “unifies the façade, provides privacy for residents, and modulates the reflections of the context.”

Residents will have access to a multitude of building amenities located on the second floor, including an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, child playroom, work room, game room, private dining room, and lounge.

在街道层，一个双层玻璃大厅空间将作为与现场背景的链接，而零售空间沿着第一大道将注入城市活动的建筑物。

Down at street level, a double-height glazed lobby space will act as a link to the site context, while retail space along First Avenue will inject urban activity into the building.

梅耶说：“第一大道685号的独特形式，是出于想要建造曼哈顿中城特有的标志性建筑的愿望。”“凭借先进的技术和建筑材料，我们寻求创新和永恒的设计，以增加曼哈顿地标建筑的历史和名册。”该建筑将精雕细琢，精确，优雅和引人注目。在纽约市工作对我个人来说是非常有意义的，给我称之为家的城市提供一些持久的东西，这对我个人来说是非常有意义的。“

“The singular form of 685 First Avenue is borne of a desire to create an iconic building unique to Midtown Manhattan,” said Meier. “With advanced technologies and building materials, we seek an innovative and timeless design that adds to the history and roster of Manhattan’s landmark buildings. The architecture will be finely crafted, precise, elegant and striking. It is very meaningful to me personally to work in New York City, and to give something enduring to the city I call home.”

第一大道685号由Sheldon Solow的东河房地产开发公司开发，成为Meier在纽约市的第19个设计项目，其他设计包括佩里街

685 First Avenue is being developed by Sheldon Solow’s East River Realty Development, becoming Meier’s 19th designed project in New York City, with other designs including the Perry Street & Charles Street Condominiums, the Westbeth Artists’ Housing in the West Village, and the Aye Simon Reading Room at the Guggenheim Museum.
