Architect David Chipperfield's latest skyscraper won't feature a glass facade like normal skyscrapers. Instead, both the interior and exterior walls will be made of a marble mosaic.
Chipperfield has received more than 100 awards, including the RIBA Stirling Prize, the most prestigious architecture award in the United Kingdom. Over the span of his three-decade career, he has designed projects in more than 20 countries on four continents.
His new apartment building, called the Bryant, will open in spring 2017 and live on the last bit of real estate lining Bryant Park in New York City's midtown.
Tech Insider recently toured one of the model units, which will sell from $2 to $16 million. Take a look inside.
The 34-story building is Chipperfield's first residential building in Manhattan.
Most of the units will offer an unobstructed view of Bryant Park and the Empire State Building.
It will not only be the only residential building on Bryant Park, but will also be part-hotel. The first 15 floors will feature hotel suites, and 57 condos will make up the floors above. Here is a rendering of the lobby:
