Design
The project's exterior and interior design were inspired by a painting by artist Jennifer J.L. Jones named “Five Elements,” which incorporates the five Chinese elements of nature — earth, wood, water, metal, and fire. The elements will be expressed as five vertical fins on the front of the structure's façade, with the pattern to be repeated throughout the building's interior. The building will feature seven floors of above-ground parking and 196 residential units, ranging in size from 780 to 4,800 square feet (450 m2). Residential unit prices range from $480,000 to $3.2 million.
