The project site is located in The Sunset district of San Francisco. The project area located on the corner parcel has dimensions of 30 m * 7.5 meters. This newly built project is actually a reinterpretation of the existing texture as an architectural whole, according to the denser and existing houses.

The project area is divided into 3 parts in proportion to the existing neighboring residence facade. The apartment blocks also reference the roof heights of the neighboring buildings with a geometry consisting of angles on the facades of both blocks. The middle block has a vertical and non-angle architecture independent of the existing texture.

The residences, rising as 3 separate blocks, establish a relationship with the environment with the consoles coming out of the façade, just like the consoles in the existing texture. It is aimed to eliminate the lack of commercial functions in the region by designing 5 commercial shops on the ground floor.

There are a total of 5 different flats in the rising blocks. Efficient land use and the fact that the designed building will add architectural value to the region will make the greatest contribution to social sustainability. It is aimed to keep the carbon footprint at a minimum level by using brick by weight as a building material.
