Soaring about like a wedding veil, this dramatic addition to the Municipal Building houses all the functions of a new Marriage Bureau. Made of translucent panels, diffused light floods its interior to create a transcendental, ethereal... almost heavenly interior. Thanks to its commanding position, an absolutely majestic view of the city surrounds the chapel space... so as the city bears witness to a couple's contractual union, so can the wedding couple witness the city."Witty, poignant and appropriate, this concept is both a charming veil on the McKim, Mead and White landmark and an incredible place to imagine a ceremony high over downtown Manhattan. It is clever and somehow believable. This project should be built. It provides the spirit and hope that a wedding day should embody."
