An attractive presence and delightful living experience can be delivered through the ultra-efficient, graceful design for these studio apartments. The efficient aspect is perfect for the urban dwellers who value convenience, natural light, and also sustainability. Beauty and value to the local community also can be added by the residential-over-retail building space in these studio apartments.

There is a beautiful green space at the center of the building, creating airy outdoor spaces for groundfloor businesses and restaurants. The courtyard allows sunlight in each unit from two sides, plus cross-ventilation for the upper residential floors. It becomes a more humane and environmentally friendly alternative to apartments that lack of windows.
