The unobstructed openness and flexibility of the space provides impressive daylighting and views. The design incorporates many sustainable features, including rain water harvesting, a bioswale, and a below grade storm water filtering system. Water saving landscaping irrigation with an electronic control system as well as highly efficient bathroom fixtures assures practical and resourceful use of water. Individual heating/cooling units and meters for each suite area are part of the building system. Low E dual pane glass is used throughout the building with a highly insulated wall and roof system to minimize energy usage. The building has been designed with exterior patios on the lower level, and private balconies on the upper level providing each suite with direct exterior access. A reciprocal parking agreement with the adjacent child-care center allows joint use of the combined parking areas. Close proximity to local bus service and other nearby housing and commercial enterprises makes this a pedestrian friendly location.
