- Geometry
- Three multi-story polygonal residential blocks arranged along a shared street edge with faceted facades and punched window rhythms.
- Facade system
- Load-bearing or rainscreen red brick masonry with recessed punched window assemblies.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with masonry cladding
- Spatial scale
- Mid-rise residential scale, roughly six to eight stories tall.
- Lighting
- Soft, overcast daylight with gentle ambient shadows and warm illumination catching the brick facades.
- Atmosphere
- Calm and established urban residential mood created by rich masonry and mature trees.
- Environmental context
- Urban street frontage with landscaped sidewalk buffers and mature deciduous trees.
- Spatial experience
- The composition frames a welcoming human-scaled street edge where mature trees soften the dense masonry volumes.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular vertical window alignment contrasted by faceted, multi-planar building volumes.
