An urban pedestrian precinct precedent showing how traditional gray brickwork, perforated screen walls, and layered courtyard planting can humanize multi-story commercial or mixed-use alleys.
- What we like about this project
- Perforated brick screen walls double as privacy screens for balconies while glowing from interior light at dusk.
