Rem Koolhaas’s Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is designing a condominium tower in Manhattan for developer Slazer Enterprises above a Creative Artists Agency screening room at Madison Square Park. It’ll be unconventional, of course, but not in the way that you would assume. “Rather than endless high-rise, we would like to have some new discovery of mid-rise,” OMA’s Shohei Shigematsu told New York magazine on December 4. Although a design will not be ready until March at the earliest, OMA is contemplating a building in which units might zig-zag across floors and feature different ceiling heights, or “balconies that stretch across multiple floors.” The Curbed blog wrote on the same day that the tower will rise 22 stories and complement a 60-story condo high-rise, also developed by Slazer, currently under construction next door.
