A volume in steel, glass and concrete was incorporated that left the existing building virtually untouched, while almost doubling the available floor area." Detail Magazine

"The New York architectural scene today, is an interesting one, made up of many different languages and a wide variety of typological solutions: from the all-American tradition of the loft, to detailed renovations in the city´s deluxe 1920s buildings overlooking Central Park; from architectural interventions symbolizing the Modern Movement, to projects developed from within historical buildings, some of which originally non-residential, now converted into exclusive condominiums".

Inside, however, it´s another story." Michael Silverberg

"Enrique Norten led the way, establishing TEN Arquitectos in 1986 and a second office in New York in 2003. Over the past two decades, he has progressed from crisp cubic houses and condo blocks to the Habita Hotel (where he wrapped the concrete skeleton of an existing building in translucent glass) and on to large-scale commercial and residential projects in both cities. He was one of the first to reject the "Mexican architect" tag as disparaging, and his work has a cool universality." Michael Web.
