Brace Residential Building / LIFE Architects

Possibility of a small building - The site was too small to build a building commonly referred to as a building. Besides, it had to setback 3m from the building line because of the aesthetic zone. In this situation, we began to take a closer look at the site. In order to fully utilize this site as an economic logic, it had to go up high but narrow. That made the building vulnerable to lateral forces, and the size of the columns exceeded the size we usually imagine.
