- Geometry
- Symmetric, stacked vertical volume inserted between older neighboring context, stepping back at upper levels to form landscaped terraces.
- Facade system
- Light masonry veneer with large aluminum-framed sliding glass assemblies and perforated metal balcony railings.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete frame with masonry infill.
- Spatial scale
- Four-story residential scale, fitting contextually within urban townhouse zoning limits.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused overcast daylight creating even illumination across the brick facade and deep garden shadows.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and grounded urban retreat where crisp modern lines meet soft garden planting.
- Environmental context
- Urban backyard garden setting framed by mature trees, neighboring brick buildings, and wooden fencing.
- Spatial experience
- The rear elevation opens directly to the garden via expansive full-height glazing, dissolving boundaries between interior living spaces and the outdoors.
