The
Chodosh-Seidl residence is a duplex loft that includes a rooftop addition
in the Tribeca Historic District. Given the constraints of the New
York Landmarks Commission mandate for rooftop additions to be minimally
visible, a sloping glass roof is sliced out of the enclosure to create
a line of skylights along the northern and western edges of the addition,
thus reducing the visibility from the street and creating a feeling
of a modern garret that is autobiographical to the site. The existing
fifth floor will remain as the living / dining / kitchen area with
four bedrooms and two baths located on the new sixth floor.
