Daniel Libeskind designed the Ascent residential condominium building near the Roebling Suspension Bridge of Cincinnati, Ohio. It was completed in 2008 at a budget of $50 million, providing 70 luxury living units.
The texture of the blue and white bridge can be seen in the Deconstructionist buiding. It curves in a grand gesture to a 293 ft height. As the bridge arcs over the precious Ohio river, the building arcs around the front entrance. Glass curtain walls checker with white panels, a decoration inspired by the bridge structure, although the building has a concrete interior structure.
