The mass was pushed toward the south of the site to leave ample north area for outdoor spaces. The experimentation with the types of spaces was then done with the semi private spaces on the upper floors as shared areas. The private was in the central elevation to allow view and act as a barriers between functions. A rotation along the central axis was used to allow multiple views and break the monotonous edge along the elevation.

Addressing the existing building on site a stepped front along that edge was used to allow the space to open up and breath.

Voids have been cut into the mass to act as terrace spaces. In the sectional view this also creates an interesting displacement, more outdoor spaces.

Towards the south of the site the mass projects outwards to shade the spaces below and allow for an activated ground level

The idea of the ramp was continued through the building as a break in the building massing at various levels creating voids and outdoor spaces .
