Left:New brick cladding merges
with neighbouring facades on
the other side of the city block,

supports five apartments.

central courtyard divide the five-
apartment building form.
Lower:The top-floor mezzanine
level is stepped back from the
internal faces of the building,
allowing sunlight to penetrate
deep into the courtyard.
