2015年，Heatherwick建筑事务所受地产公司Related Companies的委托，在曼哈顿切尔西设计了一座新的居住建筑，位于西18街的高线公园旁。该项目不只是沿着高线公园出现的新玻璃公寓，建筑师更想创造一种新型的住宅：让人能想起该地区现有历史建筑，设计和建造都是为了永久性。

The studio was commissioned by Related Companies in 2015 to design a new residential building in Chelsea, Manhattan, beside the High Line at West 18th Street. In contrast to new glass apartment blocks that have sprung up along the High Line, we wanted to create a new type of residence: one that was reminiscent of the area's existing historical buildings, designed and built for permanency.

为了实现这一点，建筑师引用了凸窗元素——这一细部经常出现在维多利亚晚期和爱德华时代的建筑中。为了适合这一既定的主题，建筑师在坚固的砖墩之间安置了双层高堆叠的凸窗。立体的窗户摆脱了角柱的束缚，让住户在光线充足的房间里可以看到壮观的景色，同时也会有家庭的感觉。

To achieve this, we borrowed the idea of the humble bay window - a detail often found in late Victorian and Edwardian era buildings. Adapting this established motif, we developed a double-height, stacked bay window held between robust brick piers. The three-dimensional windows are freed from corner columns, giving residents spectacular views out of light flled rooms, as well as a domestic sensibility.

它的立面是普通的玻璃窗、垂直的金属窗框和砖块，建筑师以富有想象力的方式将切尔西丰富的工业遗产中的材料汇集在一起。建筑师研制了一系列特殊的砖，使该项目有独特的光泽与精心设计的细部，包括外圆角和真正的砖拱腹。这些日常且坚固的材料，创造了这座感觉稳固、建造得当的公寓。

With facades of plain glass panes, vertical metal mullions and brick, we brought together materials from Chelsea's rich industrial heritage in an imaginative way. We developed a special range of brick to give the project a unique patina, paired with careful detailing that includes bullnose edges and real brick soffits. These everyday, robust materials create apartments that feel sturdy and properly built.

因为场地被高线公园一分为二，建筑师想予以两座大楼一个共同且令人印象的入口。门厅轻巧地悬吊在东西楼之间，巨大的铁路钢柱贯穿其中，独特的灯笼状窗户包裹着大厅。一层零售空间没有采用纽约巨型厚玻璃窗，而是采用环绕着街角的凸窗，可提供分隔的出租空间。

Because our site was split in half by the High Line, we wanted to give the two towers a shared, memorable entrance. The lobby is gently slung between east and west, pierced by the massive steel railway columns and enveloped by our distinctive lantern-like windows. At ground level, retail spaces eschew the overwhelming size of New York's plate-glass windows. Instead, bay windows wrap the corner site to give human-scaled shops with divisible tenancies.
