In densely populated cities like New York, there’s often nowhere to go but up. Depending on local zoning regulations, that restriction often results in a structure that steps back, floor by floor, as it rises.
Architecture firm ODA has turned that development model on its head in its design for 100 Norfolk Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Using bold cantilevering and imaginative structural design, ODA and its project team created a 12-story building whose massing grows in width as it steps upward.
