About the vessel NYC

The “Vessel”(TKA) is a real work of art, being free and very different from anything you have seen before in New York. Signed by Thomas Heatherwick and with a very exotic design, this building is seen by many as a great reference to Asian urban complexes. To give an idea of ​​the size of this building, about $150 million was spent on it, mostly to build its steel and bronze structure.

Vessel Highlights

Inside of the vessel are 154 spiral and interconnected staircases, as well as 80 platforms and about 2,500 steps. The top of this building has a height of 45 meters, which is not much compared to the tall skyscrapers of New York, but it impresses with its space. In this completely open view, visitors can feel the wind on their faces and on the structure without bars or nets.

History of creation vessel NYC

The history of Vessel construction is similar to a Hollywood plot. After British designer Thomas Heatherwick won the design competition, the developer went to great lengths to keep the design secret. The degree of secrecy was such that a 20-foot fence was erected around a steel plant in northwestern Italy, where the foundation of the structure was being built, so that no one could see what the project would be like. Gradually, parts of it were delivered to the USA.


When the design and purpose of the structure became known, many New Yorkers (and New York publications) were outraged that its cost exceeded $150 million. Some have compared it to a beehive, a rib cage and even a shawarma, while others have called it New York's version of the Eiffel Tower. 


The Heatherwick studio team used stainless steel to cover each level of the structure. This is intended to help create a motion reflection effect above and below each Vessel level, making the process more interactive.


The building, equipped with eighty observation platforms, allows you to enjoy views of the city from completely different angles. The architects want Vessel to become a place of attraction not only for tourists, but also for residents of the city.
