New York-based ODA Architecture have designed a new residential tower that creates wider green spaces and private gardens for residents. ODA New York, in their well-documented pursuit to improve the quality of urban life, designs the most expansive example yet of urban green space, and increased natural light, which have become hallmarks of the firm.

总部位于纽约的官方发展援助建筑设计了一座新的住宅塔，为居民创造了更广阔的绿地和私人花园。官方发展援助纽约，为了提高城市生活的质量，设计了迄今为止最广阔的城市绿地，并增加了自然光，这已成为该公司的标志。

“There is a huge disconnect between how we live in our cities and what we need, as human beings, for quality of life. I don’t think that we should be forced to choose between enduring in the city, or escaping to suburban areas. So, with all of our projects we look for ways to amplify natural light and provide access to green spaces, and this is the ultimate example,” says Eran Chen, AIA, the founder and executive director of ODA New York.

“我们在城市中的生活方式与我们作为人类所需要的生活质量之间存在着巨大的脱节。我不认为我们应该被迫在城市长存还是逃到郊区之间做出选择。因此，在我们所有的项目中，我们都在寻找方法来放大自然光和提供进入绿色空间的途径，这就是最终的例子，“AIA的创始人和执行董事Eran Chen说。

The current trend towards ultra-slender residential towers in Manhattan reflects a seismic shift of global wealth towards the private sector. Traditionally, New York City’s skyscrapers stood as a testament to corporate dominance, but this new typology of super tall, thin buildings heralds both a new program and function and, as such, deserves a closer look. We believe that adaptation demands a new vocabulary of formal expression for these towers.

目前曼哈顿超薄住宅大厦的发展趋势，反映出全球财富向私营部门的巨大转移。传统上，纽约市的摩天大楼是企业主导地位的证明，但这种超高层、超薄建筑的新类型预示着一项新的计划和功能，因此，值得仔细观察。我们认为，适应需要一个新的词汇，正式表达这些塔。

True luxury evolves from the ability to have the best of multiple worlds without compromise, and in this tower, the best of urban living melds with the dream of a suburban backyard resulting in the ultimate urban fantasy.

真正的奢华是从不妥协地拥有最好的多个世界的能力演变而来的，而在这座高塔里，最好的城市生活与郊区后院的梦想交织在一起，最终形成了城市的幻想。

By “stretching” the building vertically beyond its original program, we were able to create gaps, 16 feet in height, between every two floors. These gaps contain full floor sculptural gardens equal to the footprint of the building, and will be directly accessible from each apartment. As a result, every 2,800 square foot apartment will have a spectacular 1,400 square feet of an open private garden. The expansive height of the space will permit a suffusion of sunlight throughout. The central core and perimeter design will dramatically reduce the wind load without sacrificing the 360-degree view.

通过“延伸”建筑物的垂直超出其最初的计划，我们能够创造缺口，16英尺高，每两层楼。这些空隙包含完整的地板雕塑花园，相当于建筑物的足迹，并将直接从每一个公寓。因此，每2，800平方英尺的公寓将有一个壮观的1400平方英尺的开放私人花园。广阔的空间高度将允许整个阳光泛滥。中心核心和周边设计将显着地减少风荷载，而不牺牲360度视图。

The result, while based on a simple idea, is both striking and fresh. It breaks through the purely functional to restore all that we have sacrificed, and with it, creating a new urban reality.

结果，虽然基于一个简单的想法，是惊人的和新鲜的。它突破了纯粹的功能，恢复了我们所牺牲的一切，并随之创造了一个新的城市现实。
