123. Pikachu Townhouse
atelier ying, nyc.
Moving on to another typographic reference to Manhattan housing (like my Gundam Collective design no. 118), this townhouse is for Pokemon enthusiasts.
The three tall wild grass terraces outside house a collection of difficult to grow but inexpensive Christmas cacti during their dormant periods. The characteristic lower manhattan fire escape is painted a lightning yellow and serves as a lounge behind glass wall panels for a very New York al fresco-style. Inside the building, floors separate various Pokemon theme towns with flowering cacti everywhere (these plants are very easy to propagate) representing the growth of good things from rugged surroundings, a metaphor for wild Pokemon.
The left wall of the building has a grid of interchangeable window openings to customize the interiors for natural lighting. Pokemon trainers can sharpen their battle skills as the ground floor and roof are open to the public with a series of Pokemon card machines. The roof is used as an event space for interactive Pokemon contests. The sectional diagrams show an alternate camera design.
