This commission, involving the erection of a nine-story building on a lot neighboring the older edifice dating from the 1960s, challenged Slot designers to consider the client’s wish to retain, remodel and expand upon the existing building, while observing strict budget restraints, and emerging building codes and environmental rules. The integrated design shrewdly exploits the corner lot to accentuate the depth of the building’s unusual, staggered volumetrics that encompass forty-eight apartments and smart retail locales on the street level.
