pier 57, new york by LOT -EK, beyer blinder belle and west 8


LOT-EK, beyer blinder belle and west 8 have been selected as the design
team for hudson river park’s pier 57 at 15th street and the hudson river as
part of the development group led by new york‐based real estate developer
youngwoo & associates (YWA).

the 375,000 square foot vacant, former passenger ship terminal will be
transformed into a world‐class cultural center, small business incubator,
and public park, including a dramatic rooftop venue for the tribeca film festival.
the plan builds on the successes of the adjacent high line park, west chelsea arts
district, meatpacking entertainment and retail district, and hudson river park itself.
it will create more than a third of a mile of new public waterfront access around
the pier's perimeter.


design elements include: restoration of the historic pier, which preserves the existing
three‐level structure while making it open and transparent by glazing the existing
sectional doors which define its perimeter; an open ground floor and glass‐walled
atrium along the hudson river park greenway; an open‐air public market housed
in recycled shipping containers and positioned around a central promenade that
extends 15th street wesward through the pier and up to a new 2.5‐acre 'skypark'
on the roof that will afford views of the city skyline and hudson river from 60 feet
above water. uses will include a contemporary culture center for fine art
and performances, more than 200 'work‐sell' spaces for small businesses, restaurants,
cafés, and opportunities for waterborne recreation.
