Throughout the design process, the wall was the centerpiece. The series of operative massing diagrams above show how design decisions were made to emphasize the wall and create a quality living experience for the residents. Some key elements were a central courtyard open to the public, central outdoor circulation, and shifting wall angles to optimize sunlight. The top vignette diagrams show the approach to the wall, from far to close. The experience of the wall from different vantage points was important to the project.
