The NYC Mayor's Office has just announced the winner of the adAPT NYC design competition, which sought designs for liveable micro-apartments. nARCHITECTS' "My Micro NY" design, which specifies modular units from 250 to 370 square feet, has beaten out 33 other submissions to take the top prize. A building assembled from 55 of these units will be erected in Manhattan at an unspecified date in the future, and when it does, it will be Manhattan's first multiunit modular building.
While no project page for the "MY Micro NY" design was available at press time, the apartment plans will go on exhibit tomorrow as part of the Museum of the City of New York's "Making Room: New Models for Housing New Yorkers" exhibit.
