Selldorf Architects completed the renovation and expansion of a historic mansion on New York’s Upper East Side, home to The Frick Collection.

Readers weighed in on the long-awaited reveal, with one calling it “nothing less than a daring feat”. However, another countered, saying, “It’s superb by Selldorf standards, but lacks creativity by any other measure”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included pictures of progress on The Line megacity in Saudi Arabia, a cork-clad 1970s London house in Tottenham and Mercedes-Benz’s Vision V concept.
