Project 21.49 is a small three-story apartment building with nine units. It is a project we loved from the very beginning. We were given a corner plot with a steep slope and knew right away that our design would have to be something special. All nine apartments across the three floors feature balconies overlooking the open public space, while the building’s service areas remain discreetly out of sight. The balconies of the two-bedroom apartments seem to defy gravity, hovering in a way that brings to mind the two winged feet of Hermes, the Greek god. This was a wonderful project that we enjoyed working on from day one. We envy those who get to live in this remarkable building.
