The six-story compact building design sensitively accommodates the full programmatic requirements, including a maximum unit count of ten per floor. The building integrates to the residential context with an articulated volumetric façade to create residential units of human scale, surrounded by low-rise residential buildings to the east and taller four-to-five story structures to the north and west by shifting the building westward, tucked away from the street and into the surrounding hillside.
It also provides an opportunity for a large, landscaped forecourt to act as an attractive green buffer between the street and the building. Shaded by trees and the softness of sustainable natural habitats, the design brings green space to a dense neighborhood fabric, creating a community-oriented social fabric for the residents to enjoy.
