LOT-EK Selected to Design New York City's Pier 57

New York firm LOT-EK has been selected to design Pier 57 as part of New York City’s Hudson River Park development. The proposal, a team effort with developer Young Woo & Associates, foresees a rooftop park crowning a small shopping center of local artisan stores built with recycled shipping containers.

The proposal also includes plans for a contemporary culture center with spaces for exhibitions, galleries, auctions, and entertainment.

Pier 57 occupies a high visibility location in Chelsea at West 15th Street and West Street (Route 9A), at the western edge of the Meat Packing District.
