The Summit at One Vanderbilt
One Vanderbilt is the most considered of the recent supertalls — KPF tapered it and faceted the base to defer to Grand Central next door. The Summit at the top turns observation into a mirrored, disorienting installation. Go at dusk: the city, the light, and the reflections all peak together.
KPF's 2020 supertall, with a mirrored observation experience reading the city as reflection.
