“I’d never seen New York like this before. Never seen these colours, the city flushed, blushing. This is how I imagine the insides of a living person, chest cracked open so you can see everything jammed in, working on top of each other and next to each other, together.
This city is in my lungs, on my mind, under my skin.”

NYC’s Stairway to HeavenScheduled to be up and running this summer, the Mercedes House by Ten Arquitectos will provide a fresh new look to the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan. With spectacular views of De Witt Clinton Park and the Hudson River, the building zig zags vertically and diagonally to preserve city side streets.
The winding feature of the structure also allows for each residential unit to enjoy natural light and air throughout the day, and many even have their very own rooftop garden. The massive 1.3 million sq ft structure features 865 residential units, commercial and storage spaces, a neighborhood market, health club, horse stables for the NYPD, and of course, a state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz dealership.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, built with materials from around the world, is approximately the size of 5 football fields and can hold up to 40,000 worshippers under its 82 domes. Standing on top of the world’s largest carpet and underneath the world’s largest chandelier is an awe inspiring moment of peace and beauty.
