Housing in New York City has come to mean many things. In the past decade, the number of commodified high-rises have proliferated while over 200,000 people are on the waitlist for NYCHA apartments. Concurrently, the repercussions of the pandemic has led to an all-time high in unleased office space, presenting opportunities for a new source and form of housing in the heart of the city. “Right to Never Leave” proposes a new typology of housing that leverages the expansive floor plate of existing office towers. The thesis challenges the binary social spaces currently omnipresent in all NYCHA housing projects by offering spaces with a gradient of privacy, sharing, and enclosure. The project also begins to question the role of adjacent buildings in cities like New York and how they may provide a source of relief and dignity for people that may have to be temporarily displaced from their home.
