- Geometry
- An orthogonal brick pier turns a corner, flanked by recessed dark metal windows with vertical slat spandrel panels above.
- Facade system
- Load-bearing or anchored masonry veneer with punch-window metal frames.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with masonry envelope.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scale building corner detail focusing on window head and jamb junctions.
- Lighting
