The development aims to be a catalyst for growth and development in the surrounding area through quality and social conscious design. The housing development is an assemblage of organic and colorful materials bringing a vibrancy to the existing street-scape. Along with light glass entrances at the corners, the building articulates its interior program with a series of colored and protruding apertures.
