Fifty-four condominiums are distributed over 6 stores, located above a two-level parking structure. The building’s strong triangular form is a result of its position on the diagonal of Milwaukee Avenue. The west façade is expressed as a dynamic and articulated brick and steel grid. Though attached to the main body of the building, the grid slips beyond the façade at both ends, creating an expressive open frame that also supports a series of terraces. Balconies are suspended by tension cables from the roof, creating a powerful and unique expression.
