[@Jeremy_Watson]

The sway needs to be there because it's tall. If it was rigid, it would be much more dangerous.

[@h8GW]

@Jeremy_Watson Not necessarily. You can just use more structural material for more rigidity, and tuned mass dampers are supposed to reduce sway, hopefully to unnoticeable levels. However, these dumb pencil towers use as little material as deemed safe, and thus can sway so much that the plumbing gets damaged. Also they lose a lot more heat into the environment because of their exposure and high surface area-to-volume ratio.

Agree that the tradies who built this are amazing people. As for the drawing... why bother drawing anything?

I was a project manager for a large architectural firm in NJ. I left and started my own firm at 38 years old. I have now been in business for 35 years. Some of my friends and a few principals I have worked with on these big projects died from heart attacks. You cannot believe the stress these large projects have on you. You will work with a client and produce construction documents and bring together a group of skilled labor, many who do not know each other and expect a perfect outcome. Good luck. In my 35 years I have done many manageable projects, some last about a year. One thing I have never done is public work and the project goes to the low bidder. My professors all came back to the university to teach after they got burned out working all over the world. Some just to get sober.

[@nataliesknowledge7962]

Very interesting insight…

[@sharonc.2207]

I quit architecture after 5 years, basically right when I got the license. Went into transition planning project management with WAY less liability and WAY lower stress. Even pays way more what I made as an architect. Forget the stress

This is absolutely beautiful, one of the rare times I watch these crazy apartment videos and am actually blown away by it. However, $54m is absolutely insane.

The views are beyond spectacular. As are the Steinway finishes and touches throughout the apartment. That being said, this place feels extremely claustrophobic to me. I think it's the narrow footprint that is doing it. I found myself very uneasy when he was out on the terraces, as they felt like ledges. There is no way I'd be able to live that high up with such limited outdoor space. For $54M, I'd find a place that has as interior courtyard with some greenery in the center, as well as expansive outdoor space. In NYC, I would need that bit of escape, and for that kind of money, it does exist. In fact, I would just model it after Barbara Corcoran's NYC $13M apartment. Her place is a dream.

the building, the apartment, the terrace and the views are absolutely amazing..however, to me the glass wall of the terrace seems very low considering the extreme height it is located..the highest apartment terrace in Central Park Tower has two-meter glass wall (something like Top Of The Rock glass walls) so you can feel absolutely safe there because it is impossible to fall down from there..but here, in Steinway Tower, it looks a bit scary.
