PPA was commissioned by 221 Centre Group in 1999 to design the renovation of a 10-story manufacturing building located at the boundary of Soho and Little Italy, into a 16-unit condominium. By utilizing deductions from mechanical areas, PPA is able to add one 1,400 s.f. penthouse unit on the roof, located adjacent to a landscaped communal roof garden.
