Concept

The approach for this concept was to design was first and foremost to create buildings that reflect a way of living that was unique and pleasurable experience. Furthermore, we wanted the local community and the residences to engage in a series of buildings that is not typically associated with current developments.

The Solution

Our approach was to go away from the MEGA BLOCK and to create a truly dynamic urban landscape and all levels associated with the building. Made up of three pavilions, we wanted to create a family of buildings, where the towers are of different heights bound by a very strong three-dimensional geometry. The heights would allow for a dynamic building line and would ensure that each tower enjoyed uninterrupted views. The geometry of the building would allow every apartment the luxury of three sided floor to ceiling glazing… thus creating a truly panoramic city view to die for.

The dynamic prism shape of the buildings maximizes the amount of natural light and openness of each unit type, between studios and three bedrooms. The angling and setback of the buildings allow for view corridors and slipping planes that maximise the views of City Hall to the north and NY Harbor to the east and south, which has enabled us to maximise daylight and the views.
