FLOOR PLANS
Adescription of floor plan, incorporating the alternating modules: "The architectural design features a dynamic interplay between two distinct floor plan modules, creating a visually engaging and varied living experience. The ground floor module comprises five units per module, while the first-floor module offers six units per module, providing a balance of spatial arrangements. This alternating pattern continues throughout the building, with the second floor mirroring the ground floor's layout and the third floor echoing the first floor's design. This repetition of modules creates a rhythmic and cohesive aesthetic, while the variation in unit count adds a layer of complexity and interest to the overall structure."
