Project by Sitong Guo and Siyuan Yao
The project aims to create a joyful solution responding to the private and public, harmony and hegemony, microclimate and socio ecology. Using setback terraces and atrium to maximize the access to light and air, the natural botanic residents are invited to reside from the ground floor yard, climbing through the terraces and reaching the rooftop greenhouse that maintained tropical environment through laundry facility. The cantilevered rooftop as a visible gesture showcasing the unique identity of the residence and introduce new urban experience. The dynamic of building is extended from new builds to brownstones, employing the urban rhythm as replicable design paradigm in New York City. The housing shall be provided with the care of comfort ad dignity. The private life shall be respected and the community engagement is encouraged through the nature rich public spaces, making the housing facilitating the residents to live a joyful, healthy and abundant life.
