TYPE: Mixed Use
STATUS: Planning
Street level commercial space is activated by walkable streets, and sustained by local residential density. Located immediately adjacent to an elevated rail line, and with a structural column only feet away from the property line, we found an opportunity to recess the ground floor wall and add to the public realm at sidewalk level. This increase in sidewalk width accommodates increased pedestrian traffic and allows for a well-lit and secure exterior gathering space. On the upper levels, a rotated floor plate capitalizes on downtown skyline views and daylighting opportunities for the 25 one-bedroom residential units.
