Each individual unit has been specifically designed to maximize access to natural ventilation, and each separation space has been uniquely designed to capture fresh air. The building, providing an optional Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) service for residents. Each unit has access to pick up their CSA box on the either the sixth or eleventh floors.
