I am interested in this construction that makes more affordable and liveable homes. These builds can be fit into existing cities far better than the 17 story messes being considered in #Ptbo
Further exploration of single-stair stacked flats, with external stair.

77x122 Lot. 30 Homes. 6 Storeys.
Roughly 2.0 FSR. 90% Efficient.
18 small units and 12 larger units.
All units are "corner" units.

In this version we're exploring wrapping the stair around a CLT elevator core.
