It will feature “three sensitively-scaled volumes,” including a parking garage, a communal terrace on the roof, and an outdoor swimming pool. Because of the all-glass facade, the building’s southern elevation will be clad with brise-soleil to offset solar heat gain. ---

In terms of the Vitruvian Triad this new building rates high in regard to “delight” - that being beauty/attractive appearance. The original latin Firmitas, utilities, and venustas translates best as simply Solidity, Utility, and Beauty. This one is a BEAUTY. Regarding commodity/utility or “appropriate spatial accommodation” one can only assume this too has been well done on this project. Then there is the question of Firmitas or “solidity” regarding the overall construction quality of the new building; which I also assume is being well done. Bravo to the Architects, Builders, and developers for making this project BEAUTIFUL. I can only hope you will also deliver on the other two aspects of the Vitruvian Triad: Structural Stability, and appropriate spatial accommodation. _There is so much that goes into these new buildings; so much more to learn. Thanks to YIMBY, SSP and other such forums for showing the world how our built environment is made._ 😍 **And thank you all for the oppertunity for me to pontificate in public.** 🧐 > **[Architecture - Commodity, Firmness, Delight | Britannica](https://www.britannica.com/topic/architecture/Commodity-firmness-and-delight-the-ultimate-synthesis)** > > Architecture - Commodity, Firmness, Delight: It has been generally assumed that a complete theory of architecture is always concerned essentially in some way or another with these three interrelated terms, which, in Vitruvius’s Latin text, are given... ---
