Abstract

As a housing type in the Netherlands, the apartment is not immediately associated with luxury. In various parts of the world, however, this combination has a long tradition. Cities where skyscrapers and high density are the norm clearly see the stacked form as a way of fulfilling the housing requirements of their diversified residents. Dutch-born architect Winka Dubbeldam lives and works in New York, where she and her firm Archi-Tectonics have designed, among other things, various dwellings and residential buildings for the higher sector of the market. The Greenwich Street Project (2004) combines a renovated and heightened old warehouse with adjoining new construction in downtown Manhattan. It comprises 25 apartments for loft-style living with shared facilities.
