So developer said that he wants to do two bedrooms. What kind of problems at the corner and answered well the first thing is no way to solve the circulation problem. -- we locate the stair and we expect that. We would put -- there. About here. That would continue up the upper floors and keep the upper part of this there where it is now so that'll eliminate all these crazy stairways that are going on to the fourth floor. Visiting a box here but. And you -- basement if you come over the elevator shaft look at the subject here. So this whole space what we're doing with us we're gonna reclaim this -- we don't need an exorbitant houses we get about seventy square feet back in the department of the other thing that gets is it gets a third window -- not coming out of his wealth completely and he's got this thing is going -- get a third window in the facade. Which will bring light into this area and we begin to separate the apartment into three zones one if this sort of living zone -- the most light. Second is this utility zone which has -- the kitchen and bathroom and the stair and all the utilities for the apartment. And of course the third zone which requires the most privacy. Would be easy that bedroom zone which would have both acoustical and visual privacy and the least light in the back since these fasteners. Well what do you think about the overall finish when it's -- you given that any thought.

Where imagining that the existing conditions remain intact as much as possible and that whatever we do is distinctly different and contemporary."
