ShowCase: Five Franklin Place
ShowCase is a new feature on Archinect
Five Franklin Place, UNStudio's first major American project, will be a 20-story residential tower on Franklin Place, an original 19th century cobbled passageway that runs parallel to Broadway and connects Franklin and White Streets in the Tribeca historic district of Downtown Manhattan.
The building will be wrapped in a constantly shifting pattern of horizontal black metal bands. A direct homage to the applied metal façade decoration of Tribeca's celebrated 19th century cast iron architecture, these gleaming reflective ribbons will grow thinner and thicker, wrapping the entire tower.
