Curbed released a few more photos of the new Thomas Leeser-designed 200-room hotel known for now as 95 Rockwell Place (Lafayette and Rockwell), slated to open in early 2015. Says Brownstoner, the 30-story building will feature an exterior with “a sliced facade featuring crevice-like cutouts.” Carrying with that theme, the hotel rooms will be unique and angular, outfitted with artwork from local artists. The entire landscape of our immediate neighborhood is on the verge of major change with the Enrique Norte-designed behemoth at the corner of Ashland and Lafayette, and with another architecturally-significant building across the street. Love it!
