蓝色公寓

该住宅位于纽约市下东城区（Lower EastSide）。设计之初建筑师面临巨大挑战——怎样才能同时满足纽约市住宅与商业的分区规定和开发商的商业需求。因此，我们将楼底设置为住宅区，而其上方再挑出一块空间用于商业用途。大楼向街道略微倾斜的墙体和后面的院子正好横跨商业区和住宅区的界限，巧妙地回避了规范的限定，大楼的倾斜顶部同时满足地区分区中两项对露天平面的要求。大楼南部悬在商业区上空的部分由下而上呈一定倾斜角度，既扩大了上部楼层的空间，也为曼哈顿河域创造绝佳对景。此外，这种设计还有效扩大了住宅部分的平面面积。

Blue Residential Tower

This residential mid-rise in New York＇s Lower East Side presented a major design challenge： how to create anoriginal architectural statement while simultaneously responding to the constraints of New York zoning code and to the developer＇s commercial requirements？ In our solution, the building＇s base occupies a lot zoned for residential use and cantilevers over an existing building designated for commercial use. The slightly angled walls facing the street and rear yard artfully negotiate the varying setback rules, crossing the line between the commercial and residential zoning districts. The sloped top of the building integrates the zoning district＇s two sky exposure plane requirements. The cantilever over the commercial space on the southern portion of the building is also angled from base to top, thus enlarging the size of the units located on the upper floors, which have stunning views of Lower Manhattan from river to river. This strategy also maximizes the amount of allowable residential square footage. The pixelated facades reflect both the internal arrangement of spaces and the multifaceted character of the neighborhood below.
