My Micro New York is a modular construction, conceived by nARCHITECTS for Manhattan, that will be the tallest construction of this kind in the city.
This particular development is located in the Kips Bay area, and effectively uses space, light and air. Each apartment will feature 3-meter high ceilings, with the living space including a compact kitchen, a mixed living and sleeping area, a bathroom, a closet and plenty of storage space.
