Specification

Stepped Stucco Facades with Angled Balcony Reveals

The building features a multi-volume stepped massing articulated by rendered stucco surfaces and a rhythmic grid of deeply recessed, angled balcony reveals. At twilight, warm interior illumination and targeted uplighting accentuate the structural recesses and ground-level landscaping, establishing a welcoming urban presence along the street edge.

Geometry
Multi-volume stepped residential massing with deeply recessed, angled balcony openings creating a dynamic shadow play across the facades.
Facade system
