架构师提供的文本描述。这座俯瞰联合广场公园的建筑最初是为蒂凡尼设计的

Text description provided by the architects. This structure overlooking Union Square Park was originally designed for Tiffany & Company in the late 19th century. With careful consideration for upholding its historical place within the city, 15 Union Square West is gracefully translated into a 21st century residential masterwork. Creating harmony between the bygone and the present, the design for luxury living wraps the 12-story condominium residence in a translucent, layered glass skin, preserving the prominent cast iron arches of the original 5-story construction and dramatic 16’ceiling height.

玻璃幕墙与铸铁幕墙的外部表面相抵消，在公寓之间形成了一个间隙空间。黑色锌框板采用双绝缘、低E保护、低铁夹层玻璃，折射小。这项技术创造了一个几乎完美的反映，在白天，温和的透明度，夜间提示的历史结构，而只是暗示个别公寓位于。该设计创造了7层新的地板-一系列优雅的玻璃立方体设置在不同的角度，使生动，通畅的公园和城市景观与宽敞的私人室外露台。

The curtain wall of glass is offset from the outside surface of the cast iron facade creating an interstitial space between the apartments. The black zinc framed panels are double insulated, low E protection and low iron laminated glass having little refraction. This technology creates a near perfect reflection of the park during the day with gentle transparency at night cueing the historic structure while only hinting at the individual apartments located within. The design creates 7 new floors - a series of elegant glass cubes set at different angles to allow for vivid, unobstructed park and city views with spacious, private outdoor terraces.
