That odd glass house rising on a DUMBO rooftop adjacent to the Manhattan Bridge turns out to be new office space for Scarano Architects. (Name ring a bell? Indeed?the people behind The Bowery Tower.) Reports the Daily News, "People are already coining nicknames for the eye-catching structure?one of the contractors calls it 'that thing from the Jetsons.'" When complete, the structure will become a hothouse for Scarano-employed architects, forced to toil in full view under the midday sun. Don't forget to give 'em a wave as you speed on by.
