Designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Jean Nouvel, 100 Eleventh Avenue stands as one of Chelsea's most distinctive architectural landmarks since its completion in 2010. Nouvel described the 21 story building as a "vision machine," featuring what the project claims to be the most highly engineered and technologically advanced curtain wall ever constructed in New York City. The building's dramatic façade consists of nearly 1,700 different sized panes of colorless glass, each set at a unique angle and torque, creating what Nouvel envisioned as a "dazzling, Mondrian like window pattern" inspired by the stained glass windows of Paris's 13th century Gothic cathedral of Saint Chapelle.
The building contains 72 apartments ranging from studios to four bedrooms, spanning 890 to 4,675 square feet. Most apartments feature south and west views and are distinguished by Nouvel's custom designed elements including white terrazzo floors throughout, custom terrazzo kitchen islands with built in mobile units, and touch sensitive bathroom fixtures designed specifically for Jado. The building's unique seven story street wall creates a semi enclosed atrium with suspended gardens that appear to float in mid air, while some residences feature private indoor and outdoor terraces.
Residents enjoy white glove amenities including 24 hour doorman service, concierge, a 70 foot indoor/outdoor heated swimming pool, fitness center with steam room and sauna, private screening room, and valet parking. The building is strategically located between 19th and 20th Streets, directly across from Frank Gehry's IAC Building and within walking distance of the High Line, Chelsea Piers, Whitney Museum, and over 300 art galleries in the West Chelsea Gallery District.
Notable residents have included Kelsey Grammer, Stevie Nicks, Vincent Gallo, and former NFL quarterback John Elway. The building's development was not without controversy, as Nouvel publicly criticized changes made to his original lobby design in 2010, when developers replaced his elegant polished granite lobby with carpeting and added decorative boulders, leading the architect to declare they had "gone off course." Despite these disputes, 100 Eleventh Avenue remains what critics called an "instant landmark" and continues to be recognized as a major architectural achievement.
