About 56 Leonard Street

56 Leonard Street goes by the nickname Jenga Building or Jenga Tower. It is a skyscraper with 57 stories, on Leonard Street in Tribeca, in Manhattan, New York City, 250 m (821 ft) tall and completed in 2017. Herzog & de Meuron, a Swiss firm of architects, designed it, and the firm's own description is "houses stacked in the sky." No other structure in Tribeca is taller.

In 2007 Izak Senbahar of Alexico Group bought the land and its air rights from New York Law School at a price of US$150 million, and building started the same year. Foundation work started in 2008 but stopped before year's end when the project was paused, and construction resumed in October 2012 after nearly four years. Herzog & de Meuron, winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2001, also designed the interiors, and the architect of record is Goldstein, Hill & West Architects LLP. An Anish Kapoor sculpture, 19 feet high, 48 feet long and weighing 40 tons, was unveiled at ground level in February 2023.

The ninth and tenth floors hold 1,600 m2 (17,000 sq ft) of amenity space, among it a 23 m (75 ft) pool, a screening room with 25 seats and rooms for private dining and children's play. There are ten elevators, and no owner shares a hallway with more than one other apartment. Eight apartments at the top each fill a whole floor and range from 480 to 590 m2 (5,200 to 6,400 sq ft). A double-height lobby is clad in black granite.

Stacked, offset boxes
Floors shift sideways as stacked boxes, and the upper ones jut out the most. Print friendly adapts these overhanging edges to your print scale; Full detail keeps them. Print slowly for the narrow top.
Many thin floor slabs
Dozens of thin floor slabs shift slightly from level to level. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep their edges crisp, and a larger print shows more of the offsets.
One piece with the ground
56 Leonard Street is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. 56 Leonard Street takes the building color.
File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
