Boundary pushing on two fronts
Overview
This proposal for a 1-2 bedroom dual apartment building with terraces located in matching lots not only tested the legal limits on height regulations but pushed the boundaries of what was structurally possible due to the seismic nature of the city’s soil.
Each tower’s front and rear are separated down its central vertical core, by white and grey paneled exterior concrete to project a thinner more aesthetic shape.
