“Facade as Origami”
This 15-story residential tower, featuring 42 units and ground-level retail space, redefines its prominent site in the heart of Midtown, Manhattan. Positioned to seamlessly bridge the gap between two existing structures, the design transforms the street frontage into an engaging and dynamic urban experience.
Drawing from the geometry of origami, the building’s faceted facade unfolds as an intricate play of form and function, wrapping the structure in a delicate yet bold expression of architectural precision. The design merges the building’s envelope with its outdoor amenities, creating a blurred dialogue between interior and exterior spaces.
This seamless integration fosters a fluid connection with the city, inviting residents and passersby alike to experience the vibrancy of Midtown in a new, more interactive way.
