Mini Tower One: Innovation for sustainable urban living

"Innovation Tower"

Welcome to Mini Tower One, an urban infill project situated in Brooklyn, New York. It’s an elegant coalescence of functionality and aesthetics, a demonstration of contemporary and traditional design sensibilities. This towering structure epitomizes the essence of efficient space usage in bustling urban domains.

The project is centered around the ‘missing middle’- previously overlooked small spaces in cities. Mini Tower One not only optimizes the use of these spots but redefines urban living with its compact yet amiable residential spaces. Each floor is a self-contained unit, ingeniously fitted with modern-day essentials while preserving the ecological balance.

Mini Tower One shines a spotlight on the potential of ignored city lots, turning these into catalysts for efficient urban living where every inch counts. It’s a promising step to solve the urban housing crisis and sustainable urban development.

The design is unique due to the strategic use of voids and openings. These create access for natural light and become safeguards for thermal balance.

As a result, these constructions cut down on daytime artificial light use and retain natural ventilation, truly marrying green living with architectural beauty.

Standing on approximately 3,500 square feet, Mini Tower One bags the prestigious AIA New York Design Award in 2024, just a year after its completion. With its fusion of classic and contemporary architecture, Mini Tower One stands out against the Brooklyn skyline. Despite being a small-scale project, its innovative design attracted significant recognition.

Interestingly, the project focused on passive house design principles. Despite an increase in footprint by 30%, energy consumption rose just by 12%, showcasing efficient design to minimize dependency on active heating and cooling systems. This highlights how innovation can lead to impressive energy savings in larger spaces.

But that’s not all; the tower’s rooftop hosts an edible garden and flaunts a highly insulating facade and a corrugated metal exterior. These contribute to temperature optimization, further energy conservation, and adds a modern aesthetic appeal, making Mini Tower One an embodiment of sustainable urban living.

Ultimately, Mini Tower One shines as an innovative, sustainable, and effective approach to shaping urban living landscapes. It effectively combines elegance, functionality, and sustainability, making it a beacon of tomorrow’s urban settlements.
