Design for a Hybrid Farm / Apartment Building at the High Line

https://www.facebook.com/westonbakerdesign/posts/832340336851875

The geometry of the building adjusts to the angle of the sun throughout the day. Only the top of the building sees the morning sun because of the height of the surrounding buildings in Chelsea. As the sun comes across the sky to the West, the building twists to evenly distribute daylight. Each farm terrace is accessible by residents of the apartments on that floor.

There is a public observation garden on the top floor and an art gallery on the second floor, both accessible from the High Line.
