Verde Residence

This is an apartment building planned so that planting, not parking, is what you meet first in the only form that counts. The intent survives the construction, which is where most of it is usually lost.

Here, the ground floor gives up frontage to a shared garden, and each flat carries a loggia deep enough to hold a table. The tolerance in that junction is tighter than the rest of the building, and it is the one place the extra work was worth it.
