This owner envisioned an 8-unit apartment building with larger then normal one and two bedroom apartments.
The site requires a zone change and CUP, and the project needs to comply with the City's new design standards and sustainability requirements.
ONYX provided a contemporary design that works well with the surrounding neighborhood, and provides the best quality building for the Owner's budget.
The units are approached from a pleasant series of walkways and courtyards.
Each unit has ample glazing, yet each a feel of greater accommodation and privacy, due to carefully placed windows.
Each unit has accommodating and sheltered outdoor areas, contributing to the function and sense of expansiveness
