The implementation of a central glass case and balcony adjacent to a garden wall welcome a new appreciation for light, air, nature into a compact, static space. The goal is to give the inhabitants opportunities to enjoy nature in an urban setting. Keeping aesthetics interesting for viewers inside and outside, the garden wall offers privacy and comfort for people inside, a public walkway outside, and added embellishment to the building’s surface and structure.
