The introduction of a bulge in the exterior envelope of the tower provides a unique asymmetrical linear organization of the residential portion of the building, while providing the density and cost efficiency required by the owner’s program.
Inspiration for the exterior was found in the building’s programmatic requirements for two-story townhomes and exterior balconies at only seven of the dwelling units.
