The building has an efficient envelope and a rooftop solar array, while horizontal sunshades cast dappled shadows across south-facing façade echoing the traditional fire escapes that adorn neighboring buildings. The development is protected by a fiber-cement rainscreen system that also defines the colorful exterior. Bright yellow and dark gray panels pop across surfaces of pale blue-gray and tranquil blue-green. This lively color palette reappears inside the building, where accent walls aid in wayfinding.

All of the community spaces are conveniently accessible from the main circulation spine – a light-filled “Active Stair” with glass walls and a transparent enclosure in the lobby, and an elevator core where people can enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows. There is a 12th-floor roof garden adjoining a sunlit reading area and roomy alcoves that project from the glazed corridors above.
