ODA completes clustered ‘tower 1’ along brooklyn waterfront at 420 kent
ODA introduces its newest completed project, tower 1 at 420 kent. while contemporary residential towers are typically characterized as rectangular extrusions, the new york-based firm introduces a multidimensional reinterpretation with the williamsburg project. ODA proposes and formalizes a tower where most dwelling units are a corner apartment in response to the traditional extruded typology which creates an inherent hierarchy ? with the four corners being most desirable. characterized by a cluster of volumes clad in full height glazing, the project is situated along the brooklyn waterfront and offers each unit sweeping views across the city.
