The envelope of the building consists of
three systems:
1. curved surfaces are insulated metal panel
cladding within the grid of the diamond-
shaped structure.These panels are patterned
to admit different percentages of light.The
curve and program of the space below
dictate the percentage of glazing within this
system.
2. a standard vertical (mass) concrete wall
system.
with areas of long slit windows to direct
views towards the park and block the views
into the adjacent residential buildings for
privacy.
3. a low-e glazed storefront system (R-19)
at the entrances.This glazing could have a
frit pattern on it to incorporate with the
patterning system throughout the building
that would also lessen the direct gain on the
south facade along Richards Street.

All unit programs that require water
hookup are directly adjacent to the
service wall.
The roof collects water and moves
it towards the wall .A natural rain
filtration and storage system are
located within, sized to accomodate a
month’s supply of fresh water, enough
to cover for the lack of access to the
city water system during a flooding
emergency.
The service wall also houses the
plumbing and mechanical equiptment
for the house.The form responds
programmatically to the services that
are being accomodated within.
