Concept:
Inspired by a grove of birch trees, Birch takes vertical living to new heights. The center of the project is a tiered canyon featuring living walls and unique amenity spaces at each floor. The second floor features a dumb-waiter so residents can call food to their tree-house-like setting from the restaurant on the first floor. Incorporated into the canyon is a water trough that creates a waterfall effect when it rains and water trickles down from the roof to a storm-water retention pond adjacent to the retail entry.
