Archi-Tectonics designs 512GW Townhouse in New York

The Archi-Tectonics studio, led by architect Winka Dubbeldam completed, in 2020, an interesting renovation and conversion project in New York’s upscale Soho district. An industrial warehouse with a rectangular floor plan – narrow and elongated – has been transformed into a residential structure. Four new floors were built to double the space available and obtain an 8-story residential tower. In addition, a so-called Climate Skin was added, a special 3D envelope that envelops the building and, just like human skin, helps regulate the temperature of the interior spaces.
