We took our inspiration from the New York architecture of the first half of the twentieth century. Manhattan\u2019s chic residential buildings have a clear structure, including a publicly accessible base on the street and a crown at the top. Their brick fa\u00e7ades are carefully composed and richly detailed.<\/p>\n

Comprising entrances, commercial functions and access to the parking garage, its base covers the entire plot.<\/p>\n","bottom_type":"none","bottom_text":"","bottom_link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"facts","variation":"numbers","steps":{"steps_items":false},"numbers":{"steps_items":[{"number":"127","text":"dwellings"},{"number":"22","text":"floors"},{"number":"1100","text":"commercial base"},{"number":"2","text":"glass lifts"}]}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_image","disable_crop":false,"sticky_text":false,"image":false,"image_landscape":false,"full_image":false,"image_location":"right","text_top":"

Almost all of the masonry was prefabricated.<\/p>\n","bottom_type":"none","bottom_text":"","bottom_link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_image","disable_crop":false,"sticky_text":false,"image":false,"image_landscape":false,"full_image":false,"image_location":"right","text_top":"
