Some highlights of the building - full article can be read by following the title link:
"The trapezoidal fan shape of the individual units provides a versatile sequence of spaces within. A kitchen vestibule looks out over the circular walkway and open courtyard, emphasizing connection to the public center and fostering social interaction among the tenants. A sense of security and safety is established through this openness and experience of community. Moving outward toward the exterior face of the unit, views to the city and usable space for living are maximized, providing privacy without encouraging isolation. Communal public areas similarly emphasize the strong connection between exterior and interior by providing views overlooking the street and skyline while opening onto the interior courtyard within. Overall, the organization of spaces minimizes blind corners and dark areas while maximizing light, visibility, and equity of tenant experience."
