Here this balance is delightfully achieved with daylit corridors that serve as casual meeting places, a large kitchen with room for many cooks and views of the neighborhood "pea patch" community garden. Small decks, lounges, and libraries provide a variety of places for communion or retreat. Private bedrooms are organized in groups of five around a common bathroom.
The colorful and modulated facade provides a welcome street presence in a neighborhood changing from primarily single family houses to large scale apartments and commercial offices.
