Prominently located in the southwest quadrant of Woodmount Triangle the intersection of Norfolk and Auburn Avenues. The Project proposes a through-block connection, to provide pedestrian permeability through the parcel to Battery Lane Urban Park. Additionally, the building addresses the transition of height that occurs at this edge of the CBD, by providing a unique massing design, based on an arrangement of smaller volumes. Specifically, the building’s western facade incorporates a series of tiered volumes, which step down dramatically to the adjacent residential neighborhood to provide a compatible transition. These stepped volumes will result in the creation of multiple outdoor spaces that provide terraces, designed to support green vegetative roofs, water filtration and storage, and plantings.
