ten arquitectos : clinton park 11th ave b/w 53rd + 54th
the overall massing of the project slopes up and away from clinton park, starting at 96 feet along 11th avenue and climbing up to 348 feet at the middle of the block; this height transition negotiates two very dissimilar urban scales: the flat, horizontal one of the park located to the west of 11th avenue and the vertical, windowless structure of the telephone switching tower to the east of the site.
securing light and air for a great majority of apartment units, the double loaded corridor shifts diagonally across the site in a unique orientation to the manhattan grid, reducing the building’s mass adjacent to the neighboring buildings. (designboom)
