The Flynn

Thy Flynn - Residential 

By ODA Arcitecture

From the Designer: 

'Something happens when people are given the space for something to happen. Like a fourth wall retracted or third dimension revelaed, ideas and opportunity expand in relation to capacity provided. Where flat façades create finite parameters, projections and dormers open the mind and body up to possibility, public space, and private retreat. Rethinking the rules of New York City zoning, 155 W. 18th Street is a testament to the integrative power of texture, material, and mass exploration. Embracing the parameters of city zoning, which stipulated, for this building, an 85-foot high street wall with 15-foot setback and overall height limit of 150 feet, ODA reinterpreted guidelines to excite the façade and interiors at 155 W. 18th Street with dormers that increase outdoor space.'
