Building... on a Building





I saw this project on apartmenttherapy.com and found it absolutely amazing. This 4,500 square foot house, the vision of architect Andrew Berman, is built on a rooftop in NYC! I've long been enamored with New York and I know for sure sure that if I win the lottery, a home like this will be on my list.
This subject brought to mind an article I read a couple of years ago about buying "air rights" in the city. It seemed absurdly logical to me... and thoroughly intangible with all the ifs, ands and buts. I found a similar article on therealdeal.net that you can check out as well. Buyers not only purchase the space for the possibility of building within it, but for the purpose of protecting their little ray(s) of sunshine.
