Design notes

  1. 01Three apartment types per floor, so a small household and a family share the same building without sharing the same plan.
  2. 02The duplex takes the top floor and the roof: the building’s best view is also its best amenity.
  3. 03Deep terraces and planting wrap the corners, keeping the elevations in shadow and the apartments private.
