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.

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 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.
