- Commercial
- Setting
- West Alder, a fictional community
Alder Street Offices is written as a three-story building on a tight lot in West Alder. The street elevation is calm on purpose: a masonry edge, a flat roof line, and windows that repeat so the floors are easy to read.
The ground floor is a lobby and one tenant space. The floors above are small offices sharing a stair. The concept does not invent occupancy numbers or lease outcomes. It shows how the building is organized.
A fictional commercial project, included so the portfolio is not only houses.
