Wide Urban Spaces

One of my favorite urban spaces is the south end of the Lake in Central Park.

First of all, it’s a small open area fenced in by Bow Bridge, a diversity of apartment buildings on Central Park West, the skyscrapers to the south and the open shoreline on the east side.

Then of course there are plenty of leafy trees and dense vegetation.

The San Remo Apartments is the most exciting of the buildings visible across the Lake, located on 145-146 Central Park West. The art deco style limestone building is drawn by architect Emery Roth and stood finished in 1930.
