Twin Parks is made up of a module of three floor types A, B, C that are repeated six times to create 18 floors of tenant space. Floors A & B interlock to create duplex units, while floor C consists of flats. The individual units are accessed only on the B and C floors leaving the A floor to be completely occupiable by units with no circulation space - creating a skip-stop floor conďŹ guration. All of the units that occur on the A floors are duplex units which are accessed on the B floors. The absense of public circulation space on the A floors creates an incredibly high net/gross ratio of almost 93%.
