Manhattan, New York, USA

Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid but completed only after her death in 2016, this sinuous, metal and glass, chevron-patterned condominium is her first building in New York City. The building’s official website notes that Hadid’s international body of work favors “graceful curves inspired by nature,” which this unusual building strives to capture. There are 39 residences and a sculpture deck will eventually open on the south side of the building.
