Rather than leveling the site in order to build anew, we worked the footprint of the Forest Walk Apartments around existing landscape which will shape a communal space for residents and the community. We removed the building’s center, splitting the mass to create an elevated platform which will serve as a ‘walk in the forest’ amidst the treetops, as well as allowing for additional sunlight to reach the residences’ interiors. Smaller volumes are carved from the initial massing to provide each unit with additional balcony space and immediate exterior access.
