Overview
Vessel is a 16-story, 150-foot honeycomb structure of 154 connected flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings in the 5-acre Public Square at Hudson Yards, designed by British designer Thomas Heatherwick. It is 50 feet wide at the base and 150 feet wide at the top, with more than a mile of stairs, and was meant to stand out like a "12-month Christmas tree," with views over the Hudson and the city.
