Good looking out.

This is what I'm talking about when I talk about finding a way to make room for the new without erasing the old.

This is an example of bricks laid by hand for the facade of a new condo going up on Spring Street. I am comforted that for the designers the goal "is to recede into the neighborhood’s fabric rather than stand out, and to evoke the brickwork of neighboring buildings that have stood for a century."

I really appreciate that.

I hope that more owners take this route as they hire people to design and build their condos for people with money to spend to live in them.

It's the city of New York. Not the city of New.
