I'm really starting to appreciate smart apartment building design. (I go into a lot of apartments - I'm a field inspector) Like, tricks to maximize the number of windows without cutting down the number of units.
I've seen two buildings in the Bronx...one is at 1011 Carroll Place (right by the Bx Museum of the Arts) and another at the corner of University/MLK Jr. and Kingsbridge Road, that were crescent shaped. It makes the apartments difficult to diagram - lots of angles and curves. But the units have windows on three sides, and it really makes them cheery and light filled.
Others are not so good - windows on only one side. I've been in a few that were built around a flattened hexagonal air shaft and whose only street facing windows were at the back. An interesting idea but I'd never want to live in such a place.
