144 Vanderbilt by Solid Objectives Idenburg Liu

144 Vanderbilt is aimed at transforming the conventional multifamily housing typology in New York. Its distinct corner location, straddling two zoning districts, heavily influences the building’s structure and layout.

On one side, it aligns with a row of townhouses, rising to four stories. On Myrtle Avenue, known for its commercial activity, the building expands to accommodate six residential floors above two commercial levels. The project explores these two contrasting urban experiences, creating a structure that acts as a porous barrier, creating a tranquil inner haven that contrasts with the vibrant street life outside.
