The architecture of the former \u2018Printing District\u2019 called for large floors, and the site of the new headquarters allows for floorplates to reach up to 7897 m<sup>2 <\/sup>(85,000 sf).<\/p>\n<p>The building will be part of the fabric of the mixed-used neighborhood of Hudson Square with ground-level retail amenities. Above, the 19-story, as-of-right building will rise in a series of setbacks, which culminate in the two towers and several terraces.<\/p>\n<p>The building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade design is inspired by the material palette of Hudson Square\u2014a neighborhood of masonry and stone, as well as bronze-colored metal, hints of color, and punched windows. With a soft and sinuous profile, rich texture and materiality, and deep-set picture windows, the new structure seeks to harmonize with its surroundings while expressing a contemporary aesthetic. Double- and triple-columned green terra cotta panels will create a rhythmic texture that echoes the undulating fa\u00e7ades of the neighborhood, and the panels will complement the area\u2019s warm earth tones while adding depth to the building\u2019s frame.<\/p>\n<p>The building is aiming for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and wellness certifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skidmore, Owings &#038; Merrill LLP (SOM) has revealed designs the Walt Disney Company\u2019s new headquarters in New York
