Privacy is not an issue; the light is glorious. Over-the-top luxury in minimalist vessel for living. Location is fantastic, the perfect pied-a-terre, but not main residence unless you're totally on your own. The building is effectively translucent, and fades out of sight from the street unless you're seeking it out. Pristine. No frills. Staying here, in the unit of friends who are away, for four days.

I visited this project with a studio class and toured it with Staitowitz himself. It may be nicely massed but it is unpleasant to be in and turns its back to the street. As a sidenote, from the units, the steel cladding prevents you from seeing anything but straight ahead. And lastly, Staitowtz is entirely uncaring and somewhat oblivious to the sweeping gentrification this project and other some of his other self-developed projects in the area is causing.

Its a nice idea, but I wonder how many clients would be open to leaving 1/3 their urban property empty of units to sell (or rent). Nevertheless, a nice solution to a common housing problem. They must have had a great client, which just reinforces the axiom that it takes a great client to make great (in this case good) architecture. A bit dead and mean on the street level, I’d say.
