Text description provided by the architects. The redesign of this developer unit rejects the model of large homes that segregate “served” (public) space from “service” (private) spaces; as is clear in the original layout of this unit, most urban apartments simply cannot comfortably create two such distinct types of spaces. Hence, reasonable “modern, urban living,” in an architectural sense, involves the dynamic and poetic use of poché, the conventional "service space" of any home (bathrooms, storage, closets, structure, service chases, etc.)
