Rethinking the Shape of the City: Single Stair Reform in Multifamily Housing
What if a simple change to the building code could transform how we design and experience housing in New York? This timely conversation examines how single-stair reform could enable more livable, light-filled multifamily buildings—reshaping urban density while enhancing community and design quality.
Hear from Michael Eliason (Larch Lab, Seattle), a national voice on single-stair reform and author of Building for People; Jonathan Molloy (So–IL, Brooklyn), whose work with Tankhaus explores innovative housing typologies; and Stephen Smith (Center for Building in North America), leading zoning initiatives around single-stair, elevators, and more.
