The building is designed to provide a variety of
communal spaces for the tenants of two adjacent
condominiums. The existing site, proposed for a
much larger development, remains largely vacant
and offers little built or natural context of
interest.

As a result, the building has been developed as a
series of inward-focused, open air courtyards,
each containing one of the primary programs for
the building.

The principal courtyard, with its pool and
sun-drenched bathing terrace, is defined by an
independent hall, gym and a series of thickened
walls containing seating, outdoor showers,
landscape etc.

Covered outdoor walkways connect the principal
courtyard with two secondary spaces- the
basketball court and the childrens garden. These
outdoor rooms are clearly defined with distinct
characteristics, designed to meet the particular
needs of each intended use.

Together this collection of spaces affords the
occupants a variety of spatial experiences and
promotes the seamless integration of interior and
exterior space.
