block is a careful study in contemporary, urban living. It embodies the modern impulse for openness, unity, and fluidity, within which functional parts are accommodated effortlessly. The character of the different zones is easy to read though their interrelationship is dense and multi-faceted.

Three distinct yet continuous areas – dine-cook-live – are defined clearly within the spatial totality (here 61.5 m²), linked by an interplay of surface planes in cadence; horizontal and vertical, matte and reflective, transparent and opaque, dark and light. Custom, sliding veneer panels – for concealed storage, media, and food preparation – ensure extended and uninterrupted sight lines within the townhome units.
