Public & semi-public areas

develop a concept for the commercial/ retail /gallery and public use of the building on the lower areas.

Commercial/Retail/Gallery use on the building footprint 50’x60’:

1. 1: ground floor with ~2100 sqft gallery space (optional suitable commercial or retail), remaining is for Lobby, reception, elevator, egress stair, mechanical.

2. 2: 2 nd Floor and partial 3rd Floor with ~2000sqft (depends on the actual Highline height). This area is intended to give additional amenities to the residential units in terms of leisure or service. It is planned to be a semi-public area and may give access to the highline.

3. 3: Vacant Space under the Highline along the frontage of the building in length of 60’ should be designed for public or partial commercial use

4. 4: Lot space south of the building should be designed for semi public use of tenants only. This area should offer green and outdoor communal spaces.
