Hill West Architects’ Post

Hill West–designed Olympia plays a starring role in Spike Lee’s latest film, Highest 2 Lowest. With its sail-inspired silhouette and bold form, Olympia serves as the perfect visual anchor, casting sweeping views of Manhattan and transforming the penthouse into a stage for Lee's latest art. In his interview with Curbed, production designer Mark Friedberg praised Olympia’s rare sense of movement for a New York high-rise: “It’s unusual for a New York high-rise in that it’s not a box. It’s sort of based on a sailboat. It has a sense of movement and it’s kinetic. David King is a man of taste… We were using the location more to reveal the character.” —Mark Friedberg, Production Designer, Highest 2 Lowest 🔗 Read more about Olympia's featured role in the article: https://lnkd.in/eEmvkW5M Douglas Elliman Real Estate
