A three-story, 19-unit multifamily residential project designed under strict maximum building size constraints. The design strategically leveraged a detailed understanding of local zoning regulations to optimize livable area while maintaining full compliance with height, lot coverage, and massing limits. Circulation was intentionally oriented along the building perimeter, reducing the need for interior corridors and significantly minimizing the overall building footprint. This approach maximized net rentable square footage within each dwelling unit while enhancing natural light and ventilation opportunities.

The project reflects a balance between regulatory efficiency and livability, using code-driven design strategies to inform massing, unit layout, and circulation planning. Careful coordination of egress, accessibility, and fire separation requirements ensured compliance without compromising spatial quality. The result is a compact, efficient building that achieves higher unit value within a constrained envelope, demonstrating a practical application of zoning analysis to drive architectural outcomes.
