    Default 1140 6th Ave.: New facade

    I walked by this building in the evening of Feb. 6, 2008 and noted that a new facade is rising. The architect is Lu + Bibliowicz.

    Website for the new version with graphics & renderings (and a fairly lame vid):

    http://www.1140aofa.com/

    It's gonna be all glass & stainless steel -- with mesh aluminum up top (to hide the mechanicals) which will get "signature" led lighting effects.

    The lobby looks good. The recladding came out nicely and the diagonal strip of light across the facade is a nice touch.
