Stop by LOT's “Flatiron Sky-Line” at NYC's Flatiron District during the holidays

With December almost here, plenty of people have begun frantically preparing for holiday festivities. On top of the demands of everyday life, people will surely need a moment to take a quick break from it all. One chill-out spot worth stopping by during the holidays is “Flatiron Sky-Line”, which was unveiled in New York City's Flatiron District last week. 

Designed by local architecture practice LOT, the installation was the winner of the Van Alen Institute and the Flatiron/23rdStreet Partnership's third annual Flatiron Public Plaza Holiday Design Competition. Last year, SOFTLab won the commission with their dazzling “Nova” proposal.

“Flatiron Sky-Line” comprises of 10 large contiguous arches constructed from white power-coated steel tubes, which are then illuminated by LED lights at night. Each arch will also feature a suspended hammock, on which passers-by can sit and relax and admire the district's architectural surroundings.

“Flatiron Sky-Linecreatesa dynamic new social space underneath its illuminated arches,” LOT co-founder Leonidas Trampoukis said. “The simplicity of the design draws in passersby and inspires them to savor this iconic intersection.”

“Flatiron Sky-Line” is open every day from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. at the North Flatiron Public Plaza (at Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and 23rd Street) throughout the holiday season.
