Massing Models
Massing Models made by using the lineaments of the precedent. This means the hexagonal and circular shapes.
Final Model
For the Final Model, there is the use of repetition but there is some differentiation with the scale and rotation. The third floor is rotated in a 90° angle to create balconies. There is a central courtyard for natural ventilation.
