100 Norfolk Street is the home of a new luxury New York residence that appears to defy gravity. Designed by local firm ODA, it is a top-heavy glass building that will become a visual staple in the neighborhood. With 38 residential units over 12 floors, the New York residence is a big change from what it used to be.
Once the site for the refrigerators of renowned kosher deli Ratner's, the Lower East Side New York residence occupies a tight space. Yet there is nothing that contain this stunning design. Its cantilevered silhouette allowed for the creation of two large green terraces, granting residents a lush area to enjoy in the middle of the concrete jungle that is the Big Apple.
