Cascading balconies top this Brooklyn apartment block designed by American studio ODA, which has been documented in a movie starring the design team throwing footballs, catching flowers and passing balloons.
Photographer and filmmaker Miguel de Guzmán shot the film to showcase the "optimistic atmosphere of the life in the terraces", which ODA sunk into the upper corner of the 215 1st building.
As the movie shows, the cutaways allow for interaction between the residents that the New York-based studio hopes will foster a community in the building.
The setbacks also provide the residences on the upper floors with outdoor space open up to views of Manhattan skyline.
"Standing higher than the neighbouring buildings permits sweeping views of Manhattan, both through expansive windows and from wide outdoor gardens, while still maintaining the feel of a small town community," said ODA founder Eran Chen.
The architects designed the massing of the 80,000-square-foot (7,7432 square metres) block in response to the prominent corner location in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighbourhood.
