Lantern House

Lantern House is a striking residential development located in Chelsea, Manhattan, designed by renowned architect Thomas Heatherwick. Completed in September 2021, the building features unique lantern-shaped windows that have sparked mixed reviews, with some critics labeling them as gimmicky. The development includes 181 condominium units and an Italian restaurant, Cucina Alba, which opened in 2022. Notably, the High Line park runs between the two structures of the building, enhancing its appeal to visitors. The design draws inspiration from Victorian bay windows and Manhattan's industrial heritage, making it a noteworthy addition to the city's architectural landscape.
