Flexible Design : An Otherworld

Flexible Design

by Daniel R. Hirtler on 10/25/10

On our tour of the Waldorf=Astoria hotel, we learned that at least some of the apartments in the Waldorf Towers are layed out with their multiple bedroom/baths opening both onto the public corridor as well as the apartment hall. This allows those apartments to be rented with one, two, or three bedrooms, leaving the unused bedrooms to be rented individually. This is an example of built-in rental flexibility similar to the proposal in my sustainability exhibition.
