The architectural portion of the project, in this document, explores design strategies as well as some of the economic realities of building larger units in multifamily projects.application/pdfen-USnonedensityhousingmiddle housingpoint accessreal estatesingle stairArchitectureUrban planningEconomicsArchitectureThesis
