This project was a rehabilitation of a building in the Bowery in New York City. The program was student housing/hostel. The design idea was to retrofit the building for a variety of different spaces so that the building became not only about a place to rest but a place for social interaction and refuge from a busy city. The floor plans and sections begin to show some of the dynamic functions of the building. A variety of spaces, from a lounge to a roof terrace, are connected through a day lit lighting strategy in order to create this hostel.
