LAYER-ed Home
|
Office2Resi: Adaptive Team Members: Jackson Zerrer, Fanyu Wu, Seungbin Jeong  Office to Residential Conversion Post-Covid had shifted our workspace to home, making a lot of vacant office buildings in the city. However, the looming enforcement of Local Law 97 (LL97) next year poses a threat of substantial fines for non-compliant buildings. To address this, there is an opportunity to encourage building owners to repurpose these surplus office structures into housing.  Midtown South Mixed Used Plan (MSMX Plan) Source: https://www.midtownsouthplan.nyc/  305 7th Ave The site building is located at the corner where 27th Street and 7th Avenue meet.  Existing Condition 23″ x 27″ concrete columns are aligned with the same distance. In a clean whitebox condition with polished concrete floors and finished exposed ceilings.  LAYER-ed Home The LAYER-ed Home provides a much-needed missing middle housing that adapts to the diverse needs of New Yorkers through the means of deploying transformable prefabricated modular systems.
   The expanded layer is about the local amenities around the house that are very accessible, which becomes an extension of the living space. To make the residential experience in the office districts convenient, we considered altering the first floor to the third floor to be the facilities that are needed by the dwellers in the whole building.  Within the three layers explained on the top, we decided to add another layer and defined it as a ‘Social Layer’. Using the area on the floor that remained after designating the habitable area, the space is designed to be a communal area that can promote social fusion across all generations. Every second floor is connected by a spiral staircase with a communal kitchen. Having a piano beside the staircase will beautifully connect the two floors with the music played by the dwellers. Modular designs of various seatings and purposes are connected to create continuous semi-private porches from the elevators to each of the units.  Single Layer Home (Link)
