This five-story affordable complex combines apartments and modern single-occupancy studios with a wealth of community spaces, including an on-site daycare, a full service, organic grocery store and commercial spaces.
The building is visually rich, with a bright geometric façade punctuated by long windows on one side and a sinuous wall creating curving rooms on the other. These careful, yet playful design touches allowed for engaging interiors and active exterior spaces.
