Work nears completion at 9 Chapel Street, a new residential tower in Downtown Brooklyn designed by SO – IL. This is the firm’s latest collaboration with Tankhouse—a boutique developer cofounded by Sam Alyson-Mayne, son of Morphosis’s Thom Mayne. Perforated aluminum cladding envelopes the building’s facade and generous outdoor spaces: Each unit features a balcony and is accessible via a ventilated corridor—features that demand a premium in New York City’s space-squeezed real estate market.

The material absorbs light while also providing privacy between the building's outdoor terraces, which wrap almost entirely around the exterior and are included for each unit.
