The Story

Situated in a dense urban fabric, Aura Heights is an exercise in creating a private oasis. The design introduces vertical courtyards and strategic voids to draw natural light deep into the floorplan. A refined material palette of pale brick, steel, and fluted glass offers a contemporary interpretation of the historic neighborhood.
