This new-construction Manhattan duplex was designed on a challenging 16' wide lot. Many building studies were completed in conjunction with a thorough analysis of the city zoning code to best understand how to maximize the benefits of the lot while still proposing an as-of-right building envelope.

​

Windows, skylights, and stairwells were coordinated to maximize the degree to which light enters each residence, while facade materials were chosen to balance the proportions of the structure.
