在既定方案的严格限制下，KPF通过创新规划与体量调整，满足了业主的任务要求，巧妙整合了共计646个住宅单元（含160个公寓单元与216个租赁单元），同时配置了充足的户外空间及配套设施。

Through creative planning and massing adjustments within the strict confines of a previously approved scheme, KPF achieved the client’s brief, weaving together 646 units total (160 condo, 216 rental) with plentiful outdoor space and amenities.

坐落于哈德逊河与上西区密集城市肌理之间，该综合体融合了奢华公寓、市场化租赁住宅及保障性住房单元。建筑首层通过零售业态与配套设施激活社区活力，与邻近的哥伦布圆环及林肯中心的繁荣氛围形成联动互补。同时，露台与户外生活空间与项目中央公园相呼应，在城市高密度环境与河岸开阔景观之间形成过渡缓冲。

Sited between the Hudson River and the dense urban fabric of the Upper West Side, 2 Waterline Square accommodates a blend of luxury condominiums, market-rate rental apartments, and affordable housing units. At the ground level, it activates the neighborhood with a mix of retail and amenities, complementing the vitality of nearby Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center. Meanwhile, terraces and outdoor living spaces, in conjunction with the park at the center of the development, mediate between the density of the city and the openness of the riverfront.

为避免产生“超级街区”般的巨大尺度压迫感，建筑体量被巧妙拆分重组：两座塔楼通过错落有致的阶梯状体块相连接，多角度转折的几何形态确保所有单元均能获得充足的采光与通风。中央大堂进一步通过开放基座空间的设计消解建筑体量感——不仅充分引入南侧公园景观，更将更多自然光线导入建筑内部，实现室内外空间的渗透融合。

To avoid an overwhelming “superblock” scale, the massing of the building is broken down. The two towers are connected by staggered volumes with multiple corners to bring light and air to all the units. The central lobby further breaks down the building’s scale by opening up the podium to take full advantage of the park to the south and pull additional daylight into the building.
