A unique but difficult site is the catalyst for the unusual interior arrangement of these contemporary, loft-style townhouses. The vertical plan development stems from a desire to retain the site's spectacular exposure and view, and the need to accomodate a twenty foot grade difference within the unit footprints.

The living and dining areas lie a full storey below the street-level entry, with a walkout basement below. A study is suspended twelve feet above the dining room, with a view south through twenty two foot high windows over green backyards and alleys. Stairs wind up the back of the main space from the basement to the main floor, on to the entry and then up past the study to the two bedroom levels. Clean, contemporary steel and acrylic railings designed especially for this building expose those on the stairs to sunlight and the expansive south view as they move through the house. The main bedroom, only one floor above the street, is thirty feet above grade at the rear of the building, and features unparalleled views.
