S9 Architecture creates gridded facade for 111 Varick tower in Manhattan

American firm S9 Architecture has completed a tall residential building in a post-industrial New York neighbourhood, incorporating design elements that "pay homage to the past".
The 111 Varick tower is located at Hudson Square, a once-industrial district that has morphed over the decades. The 30-storey tower was built atop the former site of a parking garage, near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel.
