The Modern, 343 West 16th Street is a new 6 Story residential building.
The building has a green roof and incorporates a geothermal heating and
cooling system.The building is made of steel and concrete, yet
the facade is made almost entirely of glass. The glass facade undulates
in 3 dimensions as each floor is atypical and contains distinctively
patterned curved windows. Each floor also contains a glass balcony set
at different planes for both aesthetic appeal and to provide shading
for the residents.
