See moreFolding Waters is a restaurant and roof top bar. Throughout the development and alterations of form, the fundamental concept of folding has remained. The folds of the roof create a unique form as well as connecting the river level to New York’s cityscape. The folding walls emphasize the above by connecting the levels including the ground floor as well as giving the building a unified exterior. The front of the building resembles a folded napkin, which is particularly fitting because of the function. The materiality of Folding Waters was also prominent in the design process. The role of reflection in contrast to transparency and opacity emphasis the repetitive folding.
