THAT PROCESS OF APPROVING
GRAPHICS, SCALE AND
COLOR WAS QUITE A LENGTHY
PROCESS BUT VIRIDIAN WAS
ALWAYS FORTHCOMING
AND VERY HELPFUL.
Robert Ficarra, Architect
What have you learned from this project you will
use in future?
I would definitely explore the potential for the graphic
glass to be expressed internally – not remain as an
external cladding alone. I would love to see some of
the exterior repeated or transferred inside. That would
be a big bonus.
PROJECT
To help blur those boundaries between outside and in?
It can be explored. I’ve learned on these projects from
that missed opportunity to resolve the external expression
with the interior experience.
DEVELOPER
And that value-adding is often in the details and parts
of a project where someone has cared enough to
achieve a much better than average result?
The whole project should be read more than by a simple
curb-side assessment. When you walk through the front
door of the common area and each apartment, you will
see the level of finesse we have tried to achieve.
