Edge NYC architecture
Edge NYC is a modern skyscraper known for its innovative and striking design. The building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), one of New York’s leading architectural firms.
The most distinctive feature of Edge is its unique triangular shape with a sloping facade. This shape sets it apart from traditional box-shaped skyscrapers and observation decks commonly found in New York City. The building's exterior is clad in highly reflective glass, which gives it a striking appearance and reflects the surrounding skyline.
The building is 1,131 feet (345 meters) tall, making it the fifth-tallest building in New York City and the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere. The observation deck is located on the building's 100th floor and offers visitors unparalleled 360-degree views of the city.
It also features several other unique design elements, including a glass floor in the observation deck that allows visitors to look straight down to the street below. The building's elevators are also designed with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that offer stunning views as visitors ascend to the observation deck.
