Building of the Day: SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is a four-story observation complex that envisions new ways of inhabiting the skyline. The state-of-the-art promontory offers panoramic views from a collection of multi-sensory viewing and lounge spaces located more than 1,000 feet above Midtown Manhattan. Snøhetta's design balances jaw-drop­ping views with a choreographed procession of connective social spaces—includ­ing ample hallways, quiet escalators, and a cozy skyline cafe—to create moments where visitors can gather and pause between curated experiences.
