One High Line was designed by Bjarke Ingels Group. It is two travertine towers of thirty six and twenty six storeys on a shared podium, holding 236 residences, with glass and brass bridges spanning between them over a courtyard.
The towers twist away from each other. Each is reshaped from bottom to top so the gap between them opens views to the High Line and the Hudson, which means neither tower has a constant floor plate. The plan rotates as it rises.
That is the fact to design to. No two floors are the same shape, so a layout does not repeat vertically and a detail drawn for one apartment is drawn for that apartment. Wall angles differ floor to floor, and anything set out square to one elevation will meet the next at an angle.
The interiors of the two towers were fitted out by different practices, Gabellini Sheppard in the west and Gilles et Boissier in the east, so the two halves of the development do not share a specification.
