Robert A.M. Stern is perhaps best known for 15 Central Park West, which his firm developed in 2008. Another noteworthy NYC buildings which bears his name is 220 Central Park South, which last year set a record for most expensive home in the US ever sold.
This is very ugly. Neither traditional nor modern or creative.
