This perspective shows the covered entry and the design more clearly.
The main purpose of this project is to design a multi-story and dual function building which combines two needs in the growing town of NoDa. This project is designed to maximize privacy, view, and tranquility. The absense of the rotational core allows for light to penetrate the walls and softly illuminate the reading spaces below while providing a warm and generous amount of light for the yoga studio above. Also the core allows the building to create more privacy in areas which need it most. The outdoor lobby space can act as a meeting point for newcomers or a place to enjoy a nice day in the shade or escape the rain for a bit. I feel this inviting and well lit space will attract many customers.
