Highline-95

Situated atop and between existing buildings, Highline-95 is a series of four residential buildings linked together by the Highline. Each building contains shared programs nested within to encourage and develop relationships and a smaller, tighter-knit community between residents in a city where living together means rarely knowing your neighbor.

Each apartment shares a small room with one or two adjacent units privately to facilitate negotiation and interactivity, but there are also communally shared spaces distributed throughout each building. The facade is clad in operable louvers to allow residents to reveal or conceal their livelihoods within while also allowing them control of lighting conditions inside their apartments.
