The Ascent at Roebling's Bridge is a residential building in
Roebling Suspension Bridge. It was commissioned in 2004 and was completed in March 2008 at a cost of approximately $50 million. Many newspapers have associated the Ascent with a trend toward signature architecture for residential buildings.[1][2]
Design
Libeskind cites the Ohio River and the Roebling Bridge as influences for his design.[3] The building stands 293 feet (89 m) tall, 22 stories (comprising a lobby, parking level, amenities level, and 19 floors of luxury condominiums) and ends in a sloped spiral roof. The concrete structure slopes outward from its base on its eastern face and is clad in a glass curtain wall.[4] It houses 70 condominiums.
Studio Daniel Libeskind collaborated with GBBN Architects, THP Limited, and KLH Engineering for the building's construction.[5]
