The wonder
we seek
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, 53 West 53 rises 1,050 feet above Midtown Manhattan. Its distinctive sculptural form -- a diagrid lattice of glass and steel -- has become a landmark of 21st-century architecture.
Adjacent to The Museum of Modern Art, this is a residence that exists at the intersection of art, design, and the New York skyline. Every detail has been considered with the precision and care of a master craftsman.
