We were first presented with this project in 2006 by Eli Karp at Supreme Builders and were immediately intrigued and excited by the possibilities it afforded. Having previously worked with the developer, we knew that we would be allowed to think outside the box and implement creative solutions to the challenges presented by the site. New York City has a complicated and extensive set of zoning rules and the site butted many of them against each other; we had to approach this project almost as if it were a puzzle.
ground floor plan
The site was challenging for multiple reasons:
- the site is somewhat L-shaped: 70′ deep on one side and 110′ on the other
- the site is irregularly divided into 2 zoning districts and is essentially bisected by a diagonal boundary
- each of the 2 zoning districts allows for different height and bulk
- the site has a theoretically large buildable area, which quickly became restricted by geometrical constraints and buildings codes
Our approach:
- we situated 2 buildings of different heights on either side of the zoning boundary, separated by a 4-story exterior entryway which leads to a 3rd building in the rear
- the rear building contains an interior lobby on the first floor which serves all 3 buildings; the gym is also located on the first floor, on the street side of the 5-story building
- the apartments are a mix of differently shaped 1-3 bedroom units; some of them are duplexes with a double high living room
- the cellar contains 11 parking spots and a swimming pool

外観はショーケース、パズルのようなプラン、ニューヨークのハウジング。高層でないのが良い、セレブだね。RT 904 Pacific Street / Loadingdock5 Architecture http://bit.ly/3ognYB

I went to an open house here and while the overall shots seem nice, the actual quality of the construction and feel of the place is another story. It looks like a miami spacship landed on a gritty brooklyn block.

I also went to the open house here, and thought what a poorly built building!
The quality control was out of picture, in my opinion…and the spacial quality in each unit was little odd, too.
I think, they wanted to focus more on having large open living room and closet size bedrooms with odd looking closet doors with aweful hardwares…
If I’m looking to buy an apartment, this is certainly not the one.
I myself have not been there but the solution seems very straightforward for such a restricted lot. Building quality aside, on the purely formal standpoint, I find the facade arrangement interesting, with the red bands breaking two types of window arrangements and a terrace on top. Now living there would be another ball game as suggested in the comments before mine.
I feel this web good
We pretty much walked into every single unit, each one has something wrong with the layout. From a real estate point of view, it would’ve better to have a bunch of stacked dumb boxes. Trying too hard to be different for sure.
