graft architects�was asked to develop and design an apartment complex for
a japanese client.
confined by city regulations for height and setbacks, as well as a maximum
area allotted for business parameters, the contour and silhouette of the volume�
was an almost pre existing condition. graft utilized the oddity of this non designed�
shape and gives it a formal identity.
the setbacks on the upper levels are combined into a mound that tops the�
apartment box underneath, a new 'living hill'. balconies accentuate the shape�
of the building subtracted as cartesian volumes.�
