1614 W. Temple St. apartments

The building schematic architecture is 5 stories of all 1-bedroom residential units arranged in a courtyard "U" shape that fronts Temple St. The 5th residential story, where the "U" becomes a completed loop, is a double-height bridge with two-story units facing Temple. The double-height bridge at the front of the building hovers over the void space below and above the open-air coutyard on the second podium level, where residents can congregate and relax a story above Temple St. The wood and stucco residential levels sit on top of a concrete podium with parking and storefrontglazed commercial space fronting Temple. Two stair cores and two elevators serve the building. The 4-sided trapezoidal stair at the north-east corner of the lot--at the Temple-alley intersection--is open to the exterior. The southern elevation has a pattern of alternating non-projecting private balconies.
