The Forman Park Towers propose apartments along Almond St., which runs beneath the I-81 viaduct in Syracuse, a section of elevated highway being demolished as part of the NYSDOT I-81 Viaduct Project.
Apartments are divided into two towers, one lower with a wide southern facade, the other nearly twice the height with a narrow southern facade and wider eastern and western facades, trading broad southern sun exposure for sun from up to three directions. Certain floors in both towers are reserved for two-story apartments that wrap over each other and over the corridors on the floors below, eliminating corridors altogether on the floor above, increasing facade exposure per unit, and creating opportunities for double-height spaces. Both towers' facades express the arrangement of units by cantilevering floor plates to outline each unit.
