Crossing the bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn, a fresh shiny sight meets you. A pair of towers designed by Selldorf Architects now stand proud against the shoreline.

Made in collaboration with Two Trees Management Company, the towers at One Domino Square are a new 700,000sq ft mixed-use complex, comprising over 500 stylish apartments, shared leisure facilities, and co-working spaces made to interact with the park and river at every level and angle.

Glistening against the sky, pearlescent porcelain tiles coat each of the towers, blending into the clouds and reflecting shades of blue. Made in Spain by Cor Asociados Arquitectos, the same company responsible for the iridescent music hall in Algueña, these magical tiles give the towers a weightlessness whilst the large windows produce visual harmony with pockets of shadow.
