Dezeen debate features: Quick notes

The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features a cantilevered tower in Williamsburg by Commoncraft. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.

Architecture studio Commoncraft completed 545 Metropolitan in Brooklyn, using a cantilevered form that extends over neighbouring buildings to maximise floor space on the constrained site.

One reader called it a “nice application of NYC’s single-stair law”, while another said, “nice form, proportions and generous application of creative thinking”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter included architect Shalom Baranes’ revised design for the proposed White House ballroom, an AI-powered home robot by electronics brand LG and a report that buildings demolished during the 21st century in European cities had a shorter lifespan than those in US cities.
