A spiffy new paint job and demolition of rock walls in front of a 1970s office South Midtown office building is beginning to show tangible changes. Work is progressing on 715 Peachtree Street to make the building more integrated into the street.
This unique, 1964-built home located in West Orange, New Jersey combines the best of midcentury design with its crescent-shaped floor plan, accordion pebble roof, and a dramatic wall of windows that open up to an expansive lawn and views of the New York City skyline.
The city has yet to find anything to do with 135 Van Ness, but SFJazz is having loads of fun with the 24 windows on the Franklin side, which now frame two dozen photos of all-time Jazz greats by all-time great photographer Jim Marshall.
Thanks to advanced imaging and printing technology, that veiny, crystalline rock can now be used to cover just about any surface, like notebooks, or a wide swath of wall.
Curbed contributor Nathan Kensinger will showcase eight of his photographs that show the transformation of Brooklyn's waterfront in the Atlantic Ave-Barlcays Center subway station.
