100 Eleventh Avenue is Jean Nouvel's "vision machine" — a 2010 Chelsea condominium whose curtain wall comprises 1,647 individually tilted colorless glass panes organized within enormous steel-framed megapanels. Nouvel's inspiration: "the renowned stained-glass window cycles of the 13th Century Gothic cathedral of Saint-Chapelle in Paris."
The whole building is an argument for its 1,647-pane curtain wall, every pane tilted to its own angle within megapanels 11 to 16 feet tall and as wide as 37 feet across. That facade exists because of the Jean Nouvel architectural pedigree — the only New York residential building the Pritzker laureate has designed. Behind the glass, the 70-foot swimming pool and private screening room deliver amenity infrastructure rarely found at a 72-unit boutique scale.
Notable residents: Hugh Jackman bought the full-floor penthouse for $21,125,000. Kelsey Grammer bought a three-bedroom in 2010, listed it at $9.75M, sold for ~$8M.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
