The Harlem section attempts to mix the past, current, and future typologies of the district. R-7 walk-ups are typical in older communities, while low-income housing towers are an iconic form nearby. Meanwhile, development of R-8 to R-10 is moving in along 125th Street. Using the R-8 tower code, an extension is proposed that would break the sky exposure plane, but is allowed based on the footprint.
