"The building’s design is incredibly conscientious of its residential neighbors with a “tall side” that faces a telephone switching tower and a “short side” that faces a nearby park. The disparate urban scales became an important agenda item for the architecture team to reconcile and resulted in the stepped terrace. The poetic reasons for the design move are sure to please the sensibilities of designers and landscape historians alike, but we love that it created several rooftop garden for the residents of the attached units. Fortunately, the architects didn’t forget the rest of the building’s inhabitants:  the gliding down of apartment units also created two large open terraces that, in the rendering, seem to be designated public space."
