An attempt to create an identifiable spatial identity for a high-end residential building using the common areas and amenities as public spaces for the residents. A variety of modest materials finished in diverse and interesting ways creates a good balance between familiarity and the extra ordinary. The highlight is the first floor swimming pool, open from all sides and lit seductively, creating a true gathering place for all residents.
