As a lower-cost apartment solution, this project demonstrates that it is possible to maximise views and light for all. The open, democratic layout in the north is contrasted in the south by a three- dimensional scaffold of screens, stairs and lifts, which provide the apartments with long-distance privacy and up-close circulation that weaves and connects the users in a communal Rear Window effect. While the palette of materials and components selected are more economical than those used in the related Altera apartments, they have nonetheless been carefully employed to provide maximum benefits for occupants.
