RE: The Process of Designing Our Hybrid Farm Apartment Building on the High Line in NYC
Fascinating profile of such a cool project. I love the contrast of skyscraping and agriculture. It's a lot like the contrast of the NYC Highline itself... a park + infrastructure... where the highline went linear, you've gone vertical!
Beautiful work @design-guy!
Very interesting observation @voronoi I like that concept a lot - creating density through stacking.
Cool! Also I really dig this rendering of yours (below)... The highline has a lot of excavative qualities like holes and tunnels through existing buildings. I feel like this cut taps into that theme by inviting agriculture into the living room.
Another great observation.. There were two main ideas to this window cut - 1. To create something that looked awesome from the perspective of the residents and 2. To imitate the angles of the high line in perspective if you were looking down upon it without the farm blocking part of the view. So, you kind of get a birds eye view of the green.
