Most notable of all is the 25,000-square-foot interior park, inspired by the open space of a European-style courtyard block (hence the carved-out portion of the tetrahedron&#8217;s south-facing slope, as shown in construction shots below).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2014\/10\/625-west-57th.html\/625-west-57th-2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-106209\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/625-West-57th-2.jpg\" alt=\"625 West 57th 2\" width=\"1000\" height=\"681\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2014\/10\/625-west-57th.html\/625-west-57th-3\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-106212\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/625-West-57th-3.jpg\" alt=\"625 West 57th 3\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2014\/10\/625-west-57th.html\/625-west-57th-5\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-106428\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/625-West-57th-5.jpg\" alt=\"625 West 57th 5\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2014\/10\/625-west-57th.html\/625-west-57th-4\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-106427\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/625-West-57th-4.jpg\" alt=\"625 West 57th 4\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id='pressboard-ad-sponsorship-msg'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 43-story tetrahedon will have 709 rental units. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":106206,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11269],"tags":[],"coauthors":[8693,10332],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Curtain wall rising at Bjarke Ingels&#039;
