Privacy is unique in New York, and it's important to have your own place in a crowded high-rise. The aim of the project was to connect two separate homes using natural light, which is particularly important in the context of New York's high rises, and to bring more natural light into the interior space as the main aim. Secondly, the use of natural light to connect the two independent homes can not only retain enough privacy for each, but also serve as the connection medium.
