The first Meganom project in the United States: a 1001-foot-tall (305 metres) residential tower on Fifth Avenue. The innovative separation of systems allows every apartment column-free panoramic views, and the roof is crowned with a observatory for all residents to share.
The tallest building designed by a Russian architecture firm - Moscow-based Meganom, which Grigoyan runs with Ilya Kuleshov, Elena Uglovskaya and Artem Staborovsky- for the US, has gained planning approval to build the 262 Fifth Avenue tower in New York's Nomad district from the city's Department of Buildings.

"In terms of architecture it is super interesting that you don't know who is coming and maybe they need more apartments, more sleeping rooms, or baby rooms," said Grigoryan.

The skyscraper will hold apartments like "shelves in the air", each of the units will measure approximately 47 by 52 feet (approximately 14.3 by 16.1 metres), with 16-foot (4.8-metre) slab-to-slab height and huge windows on the northern and southern facades.

Residents will be able to chose the size of their apartments. They can purchase full floors, in multiples, and portions of levels depending on how much space they require.

Work is already underway on 262 Fifth Avenue. Two empty structures on the plot between 260 and 264 Fifth Avenue have already been demolished. The third, a historic 12-storey limestone building, will be incorporated into the base of the tower, alongside a Japanese-style garden.

El edificio más alto diseñado por una firma de arquitectura rusa - Meganom con sede en Moscú, que Grigoyan dirige con Ilya Kuleshov, Elena Uglovskaya y Artem Staborovsky - para Estados Unidos, ha obtenido la aprobación de planificación para construir la torre 262 de la Quinta Avenida en el distrito Nomad de Nueva York. Departamento de Edificios de la ciudad.

"En términos de arquitectura, es muy interesante que no se sabe quién vendrá y tal vez necesiten más apartamentos, más dormitorios o habitaciones para bebés", dijo Grigoryan.

El rascacielos tendrá apartamentos como "estanterías en el aire", cada una de las unidades medirá aproximadamente 47 por 52 pies (aproximadamente 14,3 por 16,1 metros), con una altura de losa de 16 pies (4,8 metros) y enormes ventanas en las fachadas norte y sur.

Los residentes podrán elegir el tamaño de sus apartamentos. Pueden comprar pisos completos, en múltiplos y porciones de niveles según la cantidad de espacio que necesiten.

El trabajo ya está en marcha en 262 Fifth Avenue. Dos estructuras vacías en la parcela entre 260 y 264 de la Quinta Avenida ya han sido demolidas. El tercero, un histórico edificio de piedra caliza de 12 pisos, se incorporará a la base de la torre, junto con un jardín de estilo japonés.

 

Descripción del proyecto por Description of project by Meganom

The idea that implicitly moves the project is aeronautics, putting people on viewing platforms – "shelves" in the air, from which the city is seen. As we move upwards, reaching 1,001 feet (305 m), we are moving vertically into space. The spatial scheme attaches floors to a backbone, which maintains and sustains the modules. The floors are structurally supported by the core and two walls, stretching parallel to Fifth Avenue, along the long axis of the Island. 
 
The core is pushed out and isolated, while serving the residences and housing all the engineering and logistics. The spine is separate from the body in order to achieve the unobstructed volume of the apartments and providing the ability to keep the open spaces inside the residences with panoramic views. The optimal apartment plan with clear span and without vertical communications has been defined for the residence. The interiors become clean, flexible and open.
 
An apartment is always keeping the potential of the void. It is a shelter, experience of a room above the city. It is a void with high ceilings, constrained by two walls and two panoramic window walls. The view and its perspective reveal all of Manhattan: a 180-degree view in Northern and Southern directions.
 
The rooftop open room can be reserved for private events by the residents and becomes a unique amenity, with a striking view atop the skyscraper.

La idea que mueve implícitamente el proyecto es la aeronáutica, que pone a las personas en plataformas de observación: "estanterías" en el aire, desde que se ve la ciudad. A medida que subimos, alcanzando 1.001 pies (305 m), nos movemos verticalmente hacia el espacio. El esquema espacial une los pisos a una columna vertebral, que mantiene y sostiene los módulos. Los pisos están soportados estructuralmente por el núcleo y dos paredes, que se extienden paralelamente a la Quinta Avenida, a lo largo del eje longitudinal de la Isla.

El núcleo se desplaza y se aisla, al tiempo que sirve a las residencias y aloja toda la ingeniería y la logística. La columna vertebral está separada del cuerpo para lograr el volumen sin obstrucciones de los apartamentos y ofrece la posibilidad de mantener los espacios abiertos dentro de las residencias con vistas panorámicas. El plan de apartamentos óptimo con espacio libre y sin comunicaciones verticales se ha definido para la residencia. Los interiores se vuelven limpios, flexibles y abiertos.

Cada apartamento siempre mantiene el potencial del vacío. Es un refugio, la experiencia de una habitación sobre la ciudad. Es un vacío con techos altos, limitado por dos paredes y dos ventanas panorámicas. La vista y su perspectiva revelan todo Manhattan: una vista de 180 grados en dirección norte y sur.

La sala abierta de la azotea se puede reservar para eventos privados por los residentes y se convierte en un servicio único, con una vista impresionante en lo alto del rascacielos.

Meganom is a Moscow-based architecture, urban design, and research practice based on the exploration of forms to challenge existing typologies and inform new contexts. Founded in 1998, the practice focuses on cultural, urban, and self-initiated projects at any scale. Currently underway are an extension to the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, an adaptive transformation of the former ZIL car factory, residential building in New York City and an urban redevelopment strategy for the Moscow River.

The practice is multidisciplinary, including design, research, and educational activities, and multigenerational. The studio is led by founder Yury Grigoyan and co-founder Ilya Kuleshov with Elena Uglovskaya and Artem Staborovskiy.

Its name comes from a cliff in Crimea whose contemplation inspired the seminal project of the practice: Project Meganom, a glass house inserted into the rock face, defying the fierce winds of the cape. Meganom has been honoured in international competitions for the ArtMill Museum Complex in Doha, Qatar (shortlist, 2015), the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (first prize, 2014), Moscow River (first prize, 2014), AMO ZiL (first prize, 2012), the Perm Museum of Contemporary Art (first prize, 2009), and the House of Arts and Culture in Beirut, Lebanon (third prize, 2009).

Since 2006, Meganom has led an intensive research studio at MARCHI Moscow Architectural Institute to experiment with new approaches and investigate concepts for the future. Meganom is also a publisher, and engages internationally in art projects and exhibition design.
