Here are some of the most futuristic buildings in New York City, looking at them you may feel that these buildings are out of Sci-Fi films. All of these buildings are built after 2010.

Via 57 West

Via 57 West is a residential building on the western end of 57th Street, facing the Hudson River. The building takes up a full city block between 11th and 12th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.



The building's tetrahedral shape and the pixel-like pattern of its outer facades make it clearly stand out against neighboring buildings.

The unusual form of the building is said to be a hybrid between the Manhattan skyscraper and the Copenhagen courtyard building, the tetrahedral shape is made by keeping three corners of the courtyard building low, and pulling up the northeast corner up to a sharp point at 467 feet off the ground. This shape is designed to provide views of the Hudson River for as many units as possible, and also preserve the views of the river for the adjacent tower Helena 57 West, which is situated immediately east of Via 57 West.

The courtyard of the building features a rectangular green garden, which has the same proportion as the nearby Central Park.
