nARCHITECTS: Switch Building, New York
http://www.archdaily.com/4484/switch-building-narchitects
“...The project's design emerges from a creative interpretation of some of the narrow constraints imposed by zoning and the developer's needs. The "switching" concept opportunistically maximizes difference while maintaining the efficiencies of repetition. In a reinterpretation of a traditional New York bay window, an angled front facade switches back and forth, allowing each floor-through apartment unique views up and down Norfolk Street and creating subtle variations in shadows and reflections. From the inside, the bay windows provide deep window seats surrounded by warm hardwood.”
