Amazing work! The most promising example of design I’ve seen in a while.

Cool.. this building wouldnt look out of place on the Chengou track in Wipeout HD on ps3
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Looks very promising,especially if they manage to keep colours and materials they way they are now when it gets built!
I woudl suggest omitting that lonely roof-supporting coloumn (in the corner view).

very denari, maybe 10 years ago, but now?
December 2nd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
you kiddin me? this must be a young student project or some amateur.
If this is for real then good luck with the Value Engineering process where all the decoration design’ will be stripped away.

it would be great in gotham
December 2nd, 2008 at 4:46 pm
I really like it, except the wierd roof bit?! Looks nicer if I imagine it without it!
Martin- you so right, does remind me of Wipeout!

Guys, i live at Budapest… dont worry, the concret frame is already built, but the exterior and interior is still not started.. it is standing there like a skeleton for about 2 1-2years.. Probably the local autorhites cut the project… maybe they will finnish but 2009 is not real. There must be huge financial or design premmisson problems…

I think this is a dangerous design solution if we consider the surroundings and the existing world famous Hotel New York

Personnaly I dont like the facade concept. It is very undeveloped, messy it is more like a shopping mall then a luxury hotel.
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Had it been a shopping mall, perhaps the ‘futuristic’ feel would have been more appropriate… But residence? I’d never want to live in anything like this.
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:06 pm
i don’t know how anyone can claim this to be good design based on these highly aestheticised images. Where is the intelligence? Who cares about the “fluidity of the lines of the gibs layers” or the our post-credit economy? as martin says, it belongs in the virtual world… and i hope it stays there…

uff nice piece of work, hope that he has enough sponsors xD
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:51 pm
It’s too much.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Denari meets Graves . . ouch
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:26 pm
c’mon…. would really like to live in there?
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Yeah, nice on paper but…
Oddly for something called “New York residence” it doesn’t look anything like any part of New York. More like Dubai.
December 2nd, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I enjoy the interior of the space. Perhaps I’m too serious, but the exterior is a little too ornamental. Are we headed backwards to ornament? Is this their response to 19th and early 20th C. ornament?

I like it, I find it really “FAIR”

Please look at this picture of New York Palace, Budapest, and then look at the planned building, so you know that it can only be a bad joke…

No wonder the surroundings can’t be seen on the visualizations. I wouldn’t dare to compare the new and the old.

Seems immature and totally incoherent
December 12th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
amazing work..especially leveling in composition…it seems like electronic card
