Network Living and Library

Project in collaboration with Nayeli Henriquez. A proposed housing complex and public library located on the Monument Square Site in Downtown Troy, NY. The goal of this project is to “rebrand” Troy as a center for small business and entrepreneurship by providing a unique living style for young professionals with the interaction to the city. The original design for the project was inspired by the Calgery Public Library (Canada) and the Gifu Apartments (Japan). The modular shapes from the Gifu apartments inspired the shapes of the living units. The curves from the Calgery Library inspired the slope that makes up the main atrium space for the project and unifies the whole massing.
