«Window over the world» Club at the World Trade Center, New York, U.S.A.

Abstract

This is a very large space subdivided into twenty five dining and social areas, reception, concierge office, telephone room, sitting galleries, etc., occupying all of the 4000 m² of the top floor of the World Trade Center. All the dining and sitting areas are glazed and so placed as to afford magnificent and stunning views of the city, the river and the harbor. Each decorative element, work of art and furniture piece have been carefully studied and designed by the architects to achieve this unique character. The same can be said about the surprising but pleasant effects obtained, all without overstepping the original budget. Among the most outstanding atmospheres created, the reception area, the mirror gallery, the main restaurant (300 hundred seats), the South dining room, the bar and the «Cellar in the Sky», deserve special mention.
