The flatiron sites are just north of the Gulf Front plaza, where South Somerset and Castle Garden descend and  meet a block from the Gulf of Mexico. Both parcels fill small blocks and have no service side. They self-park and so the parking has to hide in plain sight. They are relatively large buildings on a street of three story townhouses and so a principal challenge is giving them a scale commensurate with both the townhouses up the hill and the four story buildings at the plaza.

The parking more or less has to go at the wider north end of both buildings. This pushes the core to the narrow south end. In most alternates the parking capacity was the limiting factor in the size of the building. The smaller parcel has three two bedrooms units per floor, each a corner unit. Alternates at the larger parcel have four and five units per floor, with three corner units. At the wide end, the interior of the large parcel is far from outside walls and sources of light and so each alternate has a top lit interior court.
