05

Below are the plans and sections from our midterm critique. As Nicole and I further configured the geometry of the units and floor plans, we found an opportunity to create three 12' x 8' light wells throughout the building.

Square footage was also available to create two open floor spaces from the main corridor to the front of the building. This allows the occupants to freely move through the 11' corridors to a larger open space.

A main component of both the unit and building as a whole is the "open art gallery" aspect. We compressed the units enough to allow flexible space in the corridors and the ground floor for a continuous gallery.
