25 Bond Street is an eight-story loft building with a façade made up of asymmetrical layering of Jerusalem limestone, bronze and glass to create a contemporary design that still honors the historical significance and style of the neighborhood.

While it's true one should never judge a book by its cover alone, sometimes a cover is so stunning it begs a look inside. The same can be said for a home in a building that makes a strong architectural statement. Here, six prime examples.
