The anatomy of a particular program is derived from the intersection of two or more basic cubespace forms. The type of intersection that takes place depends on the program. Programs that are more public, such as living and family rooms, are formed through half-intersections of these cubespaces, while private programs like bedrooms and bathrooms are formed by a complete intersection, where one cube is fully enclosed by another. The overall design offers privacy from the street, yet also a level of intimacy between the two units. <img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/Intersect_Duplex_Parti.gif" width="670" height="419" width_o="826" height_o="517" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/Intersect_Duplex_Parti_o.gif" data-mid="13006667" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/Intersect_Duplex_Plan.gif" width="670" height="350" width_o="868" height_o="454" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/Intersect_Duplex_Plan_o.gif" data-mid="13006675" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/Intersect_Duplex_Elevation.gif" width="670" height="744" width_o="1533" height_o="1704" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/Intersect_Duplex_Elevation_o.gif" data-mid="13006687" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex_sectionA.gif" width="670" height="357" width_o="1081" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex_sectionA_o.gif" data-mid="13006691" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex_sectionB.gif" width="670" height="357" width_o="1081" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex_sectionB_o.gif" data-mid="13006695" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex_sectionC.gif" width="670" height="357" width_o="1081" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex_sectionC_o.gif" data-mid="13006703" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective2.jpg" width="670" height="308" width_o="1024" height_o="471" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective2_o.jpg" data-mid="13006721" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective14.jpg" width="670" height="306" width_o="1024" height_o="469" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective14_o.jpg" data-mid="13006741" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective7.jpg" width="670" height="431" width_o="1024" height_o="659" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective7_o.jpg" data-mid="13006772" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective8.jpg" width="670" height="431" width_o="1024" height_o="659" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective8_o.jpg" data-mid="13006787" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective11.jpg" width="670" height="431" width_o="1024" height_o="659" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective11_o.jpg" data-mid="13006817" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective12.jpg" width="670" height="431" width_o="1024" height_o="659" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/186082/2573737/duplex perspective12_o.jpg" data-mid="13006836" border="0" align="left"/> Apartment duplex which explores the ideas of public and private programs by analyzing the spatial qualities of intersecting forms.
