12.14 is an eleven-story, 46,000 G.S.F. residential development of a five-story commercial loft building in TriBeCa. The design separates, but honors, the old and new. For the existing structure, new arts-and-crafts windows replace the current aluminum ones. The cornice and ornamentation are fully restored, and a new storefront is faithful to the spirit of the existing structure. On top, a new six-story glass addition is designed to be porous and transparent. Like pillars, two glass towers divide the fifty-foot facade, accentuating the addition's verticality. These columns extend upwards beyond the roof to create a modern cornice: one of glass. Through it, the sky can be seen from the street; from within the penthouse the cornice dissolves the boundary between inside and out.
