在纽约庞大的城市网络中，Renwick街是一处有些特别的存在——它藏在几栋居民楼之间，狭窄而罕有人至，静悄悄的，似乎在诉说一段已经被遗忘的城市记忆。
Tucked between Spring and Canal in New York City’s recently rezoned Hudson Square, Renwick Street is a rare blip on the vast urban grid: a small, single-block residential enclave, whose self-generated hush recalls the era of a much more intimate Manhattan.

ODA New York最新完成的住宅项目正位于这条街上。街道所蕴含的历史和小尺度构成了本项目的语境。建筑师没有追随当代建筑中水晶塔式的流行样式，而是通过大量定制的细节打造了一个与周围的喧嚣相隔绝的古典圣所。
That scale and setting—and the historical memory they evoke—were the contextual cues for ODA New York’s newest completed multifamily. At 15 Renwick Street, ODA bucks the contemporary trend towards ultramodern—frequently hermetic—crystal towers. Instead, myriad bespoke details and ample outdoor space add up to this resolutely classic, quasi-suburban sanctuary from the surrounding bustle.

在现有的规划中，Renwick有8300平方英尺（近800平米）的户外空间。ODA试图通过创新的方式来更好的应用土地。标准屋顶天窗的规则决定了建筑退界。通过理解这一规则，ODA可以剖析和重新分配Renwick的高层区域，将大面积区域打开作为私人露台。同时采用玻璃门窗无缝衔接室内外，为室内提供理想的日照。通过这样的方式释放户外空间，让居民可以有更多机会和邻居交流。今天，越来越多的居民放弃了这些重要的互动，ODA力图挽回过去的生活方式，增进人们之间的相互交流并提升生活品质。
Here, that innovation was delivered by way of the standard dormer rule, governing the amount of square footage that can encroach into a building’s setback line. By reinterpreting the rule, ODA was able to dissect and redistribute Renwick’s upper massing, opening large geometric pockets for private terraces. Meanwhile, the use of glass windows and doors to demarcate terracing creates seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity, and ideal sun exposure. In these ways—freeing up outdoor space, opening opportunities for residents to engage with others and with the elements—ODA once again instantiates a coherent, and well-documented, mission: As increasingly crowded city-dwellers sacrifice these vital interactions for the convenience of location, the firm aims to incorporate what we’ve lost back into New York’s upward sprawl—to restore, and improve, our quality of living. Renwick’s outdoor area, totaling 8,300 square feet, results from consummate expertise in zoning, which consistently allows ODA to flip the rulebook in its favor—to experience New York City’s labyrinthine zoning code not as an inhibitor, but as a launchpad for innovation.

确实，对于品质的追求贯穿Renwick大街15号的设计，甚至在材料的运用上。建筑外立面采用了优雅的氟碳喷涂深色铝板，宽大的竖向遮阳铝板增加了私密性。内嵌木纹窗和铜饰面板等丰富细节给人的感觉像是置身郊外别墅，使它区别于普通城市公寓。
Indeed a concern for quality runs throughout 15 Renwick, even in its materials. On the exterior, an elegant grid of deep, charcoal-hued aluminum fins produce shadow lines to shield units from street view, amplifying privacy. And luxuriant details like wood-grained window inserts—for depth of color—and a series of ground-floor copper panels feel more like they belong to a private suburban home than any typical urban condominium.

在建筑内部创造了一种远离城市的氛围。作为对于James Renwick的致意——这条街就是以他命名的——室内公共空间让人想起早期英国俱乐部的温暖和亲密。色泽浓郁的木板（模仿Renwick外立面的竖挺），奢华的皮质家具，以及啡网纹大理石等等细节无不令人感到舒适宜人。
Inside, residents are removed even further from the urban fray. A nod to James Renwick himself—the English-American scientist and engineer for whom Renwick Street was named—interior common spaces channel the warmth and intimacy of an early British social club. Rich wood panels (mimicking Renwick’s exterior fins), lush leather appointments, and Emperador marble details all feel sumptuously transportive.
