The Staerk Blok is a 44-floor mixed-use tower strategically located in Midtown Manhattan. This proposal seeks to solve the issue of low-income family housing in an area predominantly occupied by high-income residents. Made to serve as the only LEGO manufacturing plant in a highly dense metropolitan city, Staerk Blok brings together other elements of mixed-use programming in order to socially diversify and balance the surrounding neighborhood. High-density, low-income family housing, and integrated workforce housing are the primary residential considerations for this proposal. Another commercial programming is included, acting as attractors to the site while also serving the needs of the structure's residents.
