Perched on a bluff overlooking a beautiful lake setting, this modern luxury residential complex is comprised of two triangular-shaped towers that book-end a row of townhouses. The modern glass facades form a razor-sharp silhouette that is promptly anchored into the surrounding context of older masonry structures by the more conventional red brick rectangular forms that frame the complex at its base. Irregular windows cut into the brick sections of the towers serve to weave the different components together and provide interesting counterbalance to the overall mass and symmetry of the project. With a garden wall hugging the street and a roof garden above, the facades are well proportioned and pedestrian-friendly.
