The IAC Building, InterActiveCorp's headquarters, is a Frank Gehry-designed building located in the Chelsea, Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. Completed in 2007, it houses the offices of IAC corporation. Reminiscent of several Gehry designs, it appears at a gross level to consist of two major levels: A large base of twisted tower-sections packed together like the cells of a bee hive, with a second bundle of lesser diameter sitting on top of the first. The cell units have the appearance of sails skinned over the skeleton of the building. The overall impression is of two very tall stories, which belies its actual 10-story structure.
Vanity Fair, writing about IAC corporation, argued that this is perhaps the world's most attractive offices (April 2008 issue).
