HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMETHING SO GOOD YOU THOUGHT YOU'D DIE WITHOUT IT?
05.01.2008

And now I must kill myself. The HL23 Building in New York City. Click HERE for more pics & info...



Architect Neil Denari has conceived a form that bends and folds into its tight surroundings. The challenge is a 40 foot wide lot near Tenth Avenue which is partly covered by the High Line. The condo will rise up on one side and then slightly cantilever over the old elevated railway bed. Glass will reveal structural crossbeams that look almost like tiebacks holding everything together against gravity. The condo will include nine floor-through apartments ranging in size from about 1,900 square feet to 2,600 square feet. The penthouse duplex unit will have 3,700 square feet and a terrace. A ground floor duplex will also be available.

kanyeismyf_nhero | May 1, 2008
Another structure that would make me dizzy simply because the windows and the floor don't look right, I'd feel like I'm leaning when I'm not. Such trickery is not something I enjoy.

I know the feeling! I love to spoil myself. This is a very elegant crib. I would want to decorate it myself. As nice as that place is I would not be worried about spectators...I would be putting on a show..at least one time... I have to tame myself.

Suicide is never the answer.
scout | May 1, 2008
lol @ Muchi. Seriously.. If I lived there I'd never sleep. I'd spend the entire time in the corner, clutching my pillow.. rocking back and forth.. back and forth..

Shit that really is awesome, I'm not surprised you want this so bad and I know what you mean about needing something that cool, but I think perhaps killing yourself is a bit over the top, WHAT BLOG WOULD WE ALL GO TO IF YOU WEREN'T AROUND 'YE!!!! lol

daffy_1 | May 1, 2008
I see this building every day on my way home. KANYE IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
Daydream | May 1, 2008
The sickest thing is the connecting structure that links the modern building to the brick one that is to the left on the pictures. It really does a great job of blending an old, rigid structure, with a modern building with multiple, non-ninety degree angles.

Love the design but I'm not to much into the idea of all the windows...I agree DAYDREAM
kitsch | May 1, 2008

Anneliesepies | May 1, 2008

ClaudiaTheRoc | May 1, 2008
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! THIS IS MY DREAM HOUSE SINCE I WAS 8 YEARS OLD... AAWWWWWW... :) THANX KANYE FOR POSTING IT I LOVE YOU xoxoxo
neffyEastlovekanyeWest | May 1, 2008
wow...thats gorgeous...reminds me of my highschool
StrongerWiser | May 1, 2008
The building is designed beautifully. Do you know what would upset me after paying 2-5 mill. on a condo or 20-100,000 p/m rent. The damn train passing my window ever 10-15 minutes with electricity sparks lighting the sky at wee hours in the morning. I hope its sound proof. I once lived next to the L and its not fun.
rowan_rashard | May 1, 2008
some place where i can live....hmmm i dont now about privacy though
cockypersona | May 1, 2008
wow brilliant architecture!

Tamomari | May 1, 2008
Nice design; but, I don't like the shape of the windows. I agree with strongerwiser I hope it's soundproof also.
KWest07 | May 1, 2008
Ye...just go and buy it !! ;) Don't kill yourself we need you right noooooow !!
JakuzaCosmicNova | May 1, 2008

Why don't you just move in Mr. West? It IS fire, and we don't want you offing yourself before you can drop some more albums. Thanks for the show in Denver!
