Clarity

The project consists of 9 units, 3 flat type units on the first floor and 6 two story units joined by a 2nd floor entry court. Each of the units consist of an entry /service core rendered in white and a living/sleeping area rendered in exposed concrete with wood floors. Structural concrete walls consistently run north and south and are infilled with glass so the building concept is clearly understood from both inside and units and the street.
