The project will consist of two-story and three-story structures, featuring 63 apartments. The apartments will range no more than 350 square feet in size. Plans also call for a puzzle lift mechanical parking system, which will allow the project to meet a code required one vehicle stall per unit in a limited footprint.
Renderings reveal a white grid facade with angled openings clad orange and yellow paint.
All ground floor units open on to patios contained between planters, controlling roof water runoff, and providing a landscape buffer to the adjacent sidewalk. A 3,500-square-foot roof deck above the second floor is designed to provide gathering spaces for individuals and groups and connects directly to the third floor of the adjacent wing.

Terrible idea. Going to ruin the neighborhood. One parking spot for each of 63 units means more cars on the street.
Worse place for these crazy tent sky high micro rooms.
These units are incredible. i was able to take a tour. I can’t wait to apply.
