These sorts of cantilevers over a neighboring building may be money makers but they are architecturally crazy. (Don’t worry I’m talking about the real building not the great joke image.) Maybe we need to talk about a code change that would require some sort of aesthetic merging, as well as barring gaping space, between new and old. It’s almost time for a tourist bus touting crazy buildings in NYC.

This one is actually called Cantilever House. (Not to be confused with Lever House on Park Avenue in Midtown).

Half the people in Williamsburg look like nerdy hillbillies LOL. So this building should fit right in.
