The site is part of a larger 30-block area that was recently rezoned after the adoption of a 2009 Lower Concourse Rezoning proposal. The proposal was meant to promote the redevelopment of the area’s currently underutilized industrial sites into a more vibrant mixed-use community. A major part of this effort would occur on the waterfront, and the city designated a Special Harlem Waterfront District with separate zoning regulations that would open up the waterfront to public access. In elevation we can see a series of tower on base massings up to 400’ tall, which is the maximum height limit for the Special Waterfront District. In plan I’d like to point out the hatched public shore walkway along the waterfront, which is another stipulation of the zoning regulations. 7
LOWER CONCOURSE REZONING PROPOSAL
SEPARATING CORES
The city’s proposed massing has units sitting on a base, which would probably consist of larger amenities and comzmunity areas, and retail stores
WRAPING UINTS AROUND THE CORES
EXPANDING CORES lifting up the units off of the ground level and expand the cores into larger atrium spaces, which allow in light and enable air circulation.

LOWER CONCOURSE REZONING PROPOSAL
The city’s proposed massing includes two large bases with a mid-rise 130’ top on one, and a taller 260’ tower on the other. This massing takes up 58.5% of an already narrow site, and only offers public waterfront access at a corridor between the two bases, or much further south on the site.
CONCEPTUAL MASSING much more open ground scape with greater public access to the waterfront, while maintaining overall square footage – and in fact, putting more of it much higher up where it could produce more value.

On the west faรงade, vertical panels and fins help to protect residents from the glare of a setting sun, while preserving views of the water and Manhattan. The east faรงade employs a similar strategy, and offers a more regular face to the Bronx. The north faรงade is mostly open to allow in maximum daylight, while the south faรงade has overhanging plates that act as horizontal shading especially against the higher, summer sun.

Street level spaces are in-demand, valuable, and accessible. They are occupied by a diverse and active range of stores/vendors.
STREET LEVEL PLAN
The upper level spaces are mostly vacant or used as storage space for the stores below. They are inaccessible and undesirable. UPPER LEVEL PLAN (EXISTING)

SECTION 2-2 (INTERVENED)
Even less desirable is the upper level real estate that occupies the interior of the block - spaces that have the least access to the circulation of light, air, and people. Redistributing the FAR of these spaces to the exterior of the block creates a passageway that utilizes our site as an entrance to the previously neglected upper levels of the block. The passageway recreates the ground level condition of accessibility and desirability on the upper levels.
UPPER LEVEL PLAN (INTERVENED)
Site serves as entrance into the block
SECTION 1-1 (INTERVENED)
The new “piazza� can house recreation spaces as well as retail stores
Greater access to light and foot traffic improve the viability of the upper stories as residential or work spaces

CENTRAL PARK HOSTEL The existing supply of hotel in the Morningside Heights neighborhood is lacking. What does exist is relatively dated and does not take advantage of the huge asset that is Central Park, which lies directly to the east of this site. Utilizing a hotel component could generate the necessary revenue to support a public program that serves the residents of the Frederick Douglass Houses. HOTEL LOCATIONS IN MANHATTAN

The Portland Loos and Bryant Park Public Restroom are popular and well regarded public toilets. The presence of an attendant (in the case of the Bryant Park Restroom) or a physical openess to the outside (as seen on the Portland Loo), are to be critical in keeping these two public toilet typologies functioning and clean. Visitors are less likely to sleep, conduct shady business, and mistreat these facilities with the eye of the public on them.

Thus, the Very Public Toilet is born. An acoustical and visual translucency between inside and out incentivizes visitors to expedite their restroom occupancy. This translucency also gives maintenance employees a better idea of the toilets condition.
