The final units plans, renders and facade details.

To better utilize space, the units were reconfigured as lofts. Each bedroom is 12' x 10', with 400 square feet for open studio/gallery space within every unit, as well as it's own private entrance to a balcony.

The facade was designed as a sliding, user-controlled light filter system. The detail illustrates the various operations of the three separate louver mechanisms and set of sliding operable windows.

Due to the small size of the site and programmatic needs, my partner and I had to constantly reexamine the geometry of the unit. We both agreed from the start that the work and sleep space would be separate from one another. The units shown below include that aspect, along with variations of kitchen/bath locations.

The floor plan shown below was our "EUREKA!" moment. Once we settled on a general unit plan, which features a double height work and sleep space, we began to examine the layout of each floor. The geometry of the unit allowed us to stack them in an L formation, which left residual space between the units for additional social space in the corridors.
