American office ODA has released renderings of a residential building with cantilevered upper storeys, scheduled to be built on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Called Era, the 20-storey apartment building will have 57 units, each with two to five bedrooms, and cover 136,639 square feet (126,94 square metres).

The 250-feet-tall (76 metre-tall) project is estimated to be completed by next autumn at 2461 Broadway, according to New York-based firm ODA.
Central to Era's design is a footprint that will increase from small to large as the building's upper storeys cantilever outwards at each higher level.
The building will feature large windows
"The building's cantilevered design will allow for more space as the building rises, which will create much more communal rooftop space," said ODA. To make use of this large surface area, Era will feature a rooftop swimming pool with views of the Hudson River.

Other communal areas built for the building's residents will include a fitness centre and yoga studio, as well as a library, a lounge and a children's playroom.
