LB 08, is the 8th title from AMAG LONG BOOKS COLLECTION, which presents the 1st tower from DAVID ADJAYE at NY and the firm's first high-rise residential tower in the United States.

Adjaye Associates’ design celebrates the building’s lower Manhattan context with a hand-cast concrete façade evocative of the masonry craftsmanship of the neighborhood’s historic high-rises. The bespoke, tinted concrete rough textures are offset by smooth bronze detailing throughout the building. Rhythmic, large-scale arched windows, inspired by the mercantile structures that once populated the area, establish the building’s bold silhouette and invite natural light deep into the interior. The highest level residences feature spacious double-height loggias that blur indoor and outdoor life while providing sweeping views, river to river, across the city.

Let’s not do another curtain-wall glass building, Let’s look at the incredible tradition of masonry architecture in downtown and Midtown New York. - David Adjaye
