195 Bowery

195 Bowery [at Spring St.] rises up 16 stories from a base no wider than a town house. The dimensions are unusual for New York. It reminds me much more of Buenos Aires where it's common for 10-15 story buildings to rise up from the standard 8.66m plot width. I like the yellow exterior which seems like some sort ot tyvek wrap. It's being covered over in a brownish gray brick. I see the yellow and I think of Barcelona or Lisbon with all their crazy and colorful tiles on building exteriors. Everything in New York is either decorative brick or sleek glass. The real estate blog Curbed has some background on the building and Wired New York has some more pictures.



photo of thomas locke hobbs Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.

does spelling it out really prevent spam?
