The existing corner row house was, by far, in the worst condition, with collapsed floors and roof structure. The largest problem of the existing structures was turned into one of the greatest assets by transforming the corner building into an exterior semi-private garden space. What once had been a corner storefront has now been re-imagined into a quiet garden with custom steel railings and fence to allow for security yet transparency into the green space.
