2. SITE PLAN
LOCATION

3. • THE STACK addresses the need for
moderate-income housing in
Manhattan. It finds opportunity on a
small, difficult urban site through the
alternative method of offsite
construction.
• It is a pilot project for developing a
quality and economically viable
housing solution to strategically
rebuilding and filling gaps in outmoded
housing infrastructure in the city.
• Although not necessary to its
construction methodology, the design
of this 7-storey residential building
expresses its offsite modular
construction.
INTRODUCTION :

4. • The architect designed some aesthetics in the front of the building to give character in
the modular layout. Open floor plans and taller windows allow the light to shine through
the living units and into the center courtyard. The finished concrete floors required that
we pour the concrete on our production line rather than utilizing our concrete panel
facility. This created an slower pace on our production line but was not as large an issue
due to the fact that there were fewer floor finishes to install.
DESIGN :

5. • Seven-story nearly 38,000 square
foot upscale apartment project with
first floor retail space. The project
consists of 28 living units that range
from studio to three bedroom units,
many of which have private
terraces. The building was designed
with a modern exterior finish and
shape. The project was built with 56
modules erected upon steel
columns that created the first level.
The living units were designed with
finished concrete floors to give it
more of an urban feel. There is a
centralized courtyard that creates a
cover atop of the retail level, adding
light and character for the interior
units.
