CookFox Architects restored the facade of a historic Upper West Side apartment building and added a tiered 19-storey extension made up of two volumes clad in red and white bricks.
Readers were mainly impressed by the project, with one suggesting the extension "fits like a glove" and another describing it as "sympathetic and classy".
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section included Büro Ole Scheeren's plans for a pair of towers in Shenzhen, a collection of ceramics that look like cardboard and a cafe by Korpnik Produkcija designed to resemble a crystal.
