From industrial to residential. An adaptive re-use project in NYC uses the Climate Skin

Archi-Tectonics NYC

Archi-Tectonics' converted a long, narrow industrial structure in SoHo, a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan in New York City. This location is home to artists' lofts, art galleries, trendy boutiques and chain stores. It is an archetypal example of inner-city gentrification. This urban townhouse fittingly regenerates the existing structure into a spacious, flexible 8-story family home. The project doubled the space by adding a 4-story structure to the original and unifying the 2 volumes with a 3D envelope— the Climate Skin.
