The building

The Independent seen from the west, its stacked floor plates stepping outward at each shift and a terrace cantilevered from one of the setbacks.
The lobby at The Independent: board-formed concrete walls with the form-tie holes left visible, an undulating timber slat screen behind the desks, and a marble floor.
The cantilevered pool at The Independent at dusk, its glass end wall holding the water out over the edge of the deck, with the downtown towers lit behind it.
A residents' meeting room at The Independent: a long walnut table under woven globe pendants, oak millwork, and floor-to-ceiling glass with the building's diagonal structural bracing crossing the window wall.

Stacks, floors, and the read

Which stacks and floors are worth it

Luke writes this section

Which stacks and floors are worth the premium and which are priced as though they are. Afternoon glare, lake versus city orientation, noise from below, elevator wait by floor band, and the lines where the floor plan works against the view.
