The structure features an asymmetrically curved roof with a unique geometry. "To make the compelling design of this concrete roof a reality, we sent a three-dimensional model prepared by the New York City Housing Authority The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) provides housing for low and moderate income residents throughout the five boroughs of New York City.

Our next challenging task was to prepare structural drawings so that the complex curved roof structure could be easily built by any contractor."
