In the context of burgeoning urban density, the incentive to maximize building footprints often poses a challenge to thoughtful architectural design. This can result in the abundance of towering structures that risk becoming featureless boxes within a neighborhood setting. At Snow Mesa, we recognize the importance of addressing this challenge by adopting a strategic approach to layering urban homes. Embracing the constraints of vertical growth, we articulate rooms within each level, introducing a nuanced facade that adds depth and interest to the exterior. This intentional layering not only breaks the monotony of expansive surfaces but also provides relief and intricacy to the overall design. By carefully considering the composition of each level, we aim to create residences that harmoniously coexist within the urban fabric, contributing to a more visually engaging and architecturally diverse neighborhood.
