Vessel at Hudson Yards

Vessel is a 150-foot-tall architectural landmark located in the center of the Public Square and Gardens at Hudson Yards, designed by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio. The structure is composed of an intricate network of 154 interconnecting flights of stairs, 2,500 individual steps, and 80 landings arranged in a honeycomb-like pattern.
Its exterior is clad in polished copper-colored steel, providing a distinct visual contrast to the surrounding glass skyscrapers of the West Side. This interactive installation was conceived as a vertical public space that offers diverse perspectives of the neighborhood and the Hudson River from various elevations.
Following a period of limited access, the structure has reopened with significant safety enhancements, including the installation of floor-to-ceiling steel mesh on several levels. This allows visitors to safely navigate the upper landings while maintaining the open-air atmosphere and the geometric views for which the structure is known.
Given its location directly adjacent to the entrance of 30 Hudson Yards, Vessel serves as a ground-level architectural companion to the Edge experience. It offers a unique opportunity for visitors to explore modern structural design before or after ascending to the 100th-floor observation deck.
