Local architecture studio SO-IL completes the 9 Chapel, which is a rendering of buildings currently under construction in downtown Brooklyn. It is defined by its unique perforated metal wrapping for a unique dynamic look. The residences will feature 27 one to four-bedroom designs over 14 stories and will be visible from the Brooklyn Bridge.
The aforementioned metal wrapping is made possible with the help of developer Tankhouse. This facade helps absorb light without disrupting the privacy throughout the outdoor spaces. Co-founder of SO-IL, Florian Idenburg speaks about the project, stating "Leveraging the particular characteristics of this site, we introduce an innovative concept: a collection of homes dynamically connected with their surroundings. This presents an exceptional and vibrant approach to 21st-century living in New York."
