Above is the slideshow and plans presented on Monday. There were some issues raised on the design, such as the yard behind the living boxes should be more thought through as there are quite a lot of land left within the lot. Suggestions of a commercial or office spaces were proposed. Another issue was the link between each unit. Rather than simply sharing the same wall, ideas on visual connections between the two units were suggested. But overall, the reactions to the design were positive.

The next step will lead to the design development phase. Materials, details and the mechanics of building design will be explored.
