Architecture studio BIG has announced the completion of The Spiral,
the studio's first supertall skyscraper
and first commercial high-rise in New York City that features a "ziggurat silhouette".
It reaches 314 metres into the sky,
making it a super tall skyscraper, which is a skyscraper between 300 meters and 600 meters tall.
Located along the High Line,
the 66-storey building gets its moniker from a series of stepped terraces wrapped around its exterior.
"The Spiral punctuates the northern end of the High Line,
and the linear park appears to carry through into the tower,
forming an ascending ribbon of lively green spaces, extending the High Line to the skyline,"
combines the classic ziggurat silhouette of the premodern skyscraper
with the slender proportions and efficient layouts of the modern high-rise."
On its lower levels,
the building features glazed, recessed openings at the street-level lobby and office spaces above.
As they move upward along the building,
the openings shift into terraces populated with "a landscape that has never been installed at or above 300 feet elevation in New York City"
