Amazing roofs is a proposal for rehabilitate unused urban lots in NYC. It was developed as part of the Small Lot Competition, or-ganized by NYC.
Amazing Roofs is a series of micro houses that occupy different mini lots throughout NYC, providing affordable housing. A roof, a pedestal, and a stair is a spatial exploration of the notion of mini tower as a single, autonomous and inde-pendent housing component. A tapered, roof-like volume is the main element of the mini tower accomodating most of the house spaces as a 3-storey one-family home.
