| [in italiano] | SITE. Located on the lower west end of Manhattan, a former six-story warehouse building will be renovated with the addition of a four-story penthouse. Adjacent to the old brick-faced building, a new residential building of 11 stories will be erected. The once dilapidated urban condition of abandoned warehouses will be reinvigorated with the insertion of galleries, restaurants and modern living. |

CONCEPT. The integration of the old brick building and the new steel and glass structure adjacent to it will mediate a play between the past and the present. A small crease rising between the two negotiates between old and new, and contains a set of cantilevering balconies, juxtaposing and differentiating between the old and the new, inserting an interactive space into an otherwise neutral streetscape. The NY City building code is here re-interpreted; the horizontal plane of the traditional urban fabric is questioned by the insertion of a diagonal surface that bifurcates the facade plane. It integrates the strict building setback codes into a new folded vertical landscape. The crease as a system of inflections allows for a slippage between interior urbanism and urban privacy. |
|||
| Newly renovated, the former warehouse building will be completely gutted out, enlarging the interior space for the introduction of an open loft plan. Its strong wood and brick structure allows for the addition of a four-story penthouse in glass and steel. The setback intervals create a rooftop landscape which allow the outside in with large reflecting glass windows in a mediated transition. |

|
 The new building's angled facade with large reflecting glass planes integrates the urban and the private environments. Large open-plan loft apartments provide a spacious feel and combine spectacular views with generous daylight. A central core contains vertical transportation and utilities, tying together the hybrid structure in an efficient manner. At the ground floor the angled glass facade juts out to form an onning over the entry area to the lobby, retail spaces and an art gallery. This transition zone fosters a more re-active streetscape which will ease the transformation of the former industrial area into an integrated residential neighborhood.
