Rather than grouping residential
towers as close to each other as possible and shaping the
exterior to meet codes, here the buildings are simple squares
spaced in a checkerboard-like pattern
so the perimeter of each tower receives abundant light and
air. Needless to say, this is not a cheap development, for
the developer or the buyer. Between the residential towers
are placed low-scale office/residential components - also
square in plan - that are thoughtfully articulated at their
roofs. All these pieces are set at an angle to the adjacent
streets to aid in bringing sunlight to the various units.
Beyond two office bars that parallel a road to the east is
a green space that wraps around
the site to the south. |
