Nabito shared with us their latest project for mixed uses, The Stairscraper, a horizontal skyscraper, designed to be in New York, which won the Total Housing Competition. It is currently on exhibit until the 22nd of January at the Store Front for Art and Architecture in New York City. More images and architect’s description after the break.

Contemporary housing is spreading into the more complex and (broad) concept of HABITAT.This housing project is impossible today without thinking of something much more complex, but simply the solution to meet a social need and right. In housing today, the motto “TOTAL HOUSING” seems justified. It represents the idea of understanding a wider habitat, a system of complex social relationships with the environment in search of enjoyment of life, mixing different ambits and different uses.
