This old industrial setting was instrumental in informing the architectural language of these live work units. The floor plans are conceived as a flexible pattern or weave of built and unbuilt spaces stitched together by a central circulation route linking the split level accommodation. From the outside, the they appear as a veiled mass. The upper section is a composition of metal fins arranged in a structural steel frame. These fins have been laid out in varying widths to create a rhythm to the street elevation and have been periodically doubled in depth. At night the front elevation comes alive; its transparency is realized when each property is lit from within.
