Working within the parameters of a plank and masonry block construction system, the front walls of the building are deeply set back and slightly angled and undulated from the street line to provide an opportunity for planting in the front yard and provide visual interest for what would otherwise be a long and monotonous street-facing building wall. Each portion of the street wall is further broken down in scale by manipulating the parapet heights and building material to further break down its scale. The setback and courtyard walls of the building follow the same undulation for consistency in constructability and to provide similar landscape design opportunities at the courtyard and setback terraces.

With a focus on sustainability and resiliency, the building addresses potential stormwater flooding well into the future and will be certified by Enterprise Green Communities upon completion. Some notable sustainability features include an all-electric design, high-efficiency HVAC systems, extensive green roofs, enhanced insulation, and UPVC windows.

UAI assisted WIN with their ULURP application for a special permit pursuant to ZR 74-903 to modify the requirements of ZR 24-111 to increase the permitted community facility FAR, making the development possible.
