Description

"Bordering Massachusetts Avenue and Green Street, this eighteen story building sits on top of four-story pilotis to allow sunlight to the road below. It has a terraced form to provide private outdoor spaces for the apartments and reduce shadows on the north side of the building and moderated the sun from the south side. A skip-stop elevator system allows for light on two sides for through units. On Massachusetts Ave. shops and offices share multilevel public spaces, with an underground garage." From "Imre Halasz, Anthony Halasz", by Gaspar and Timon, 2002.
