Design notes
What this design explores
Two large rectangular frames organise the frontage: one around the long middle balcony, and one around the setback roof terrace. The parking bays occupy much of the ground level, leaving a narrower glazed zone at the side. Timber tones inside the frames soften their strong outlines.
On a compact plot, check the parking and stair layout before committing to the facade. Upper balconies need enough depth for their intended use, while the top pergola should be sized for usable shade. Compare the dimensions left inside the rooms once those exterior spaces are accounted for.
