Responding to the lack of privacy and open space on corner lots, we organized 201 Guerrero’s three residential units vertically rather than horizontally, so each can capture daylight from far above street level, and gave each unit its own roof garden. Retail space activates the corner below, with garages tucked behind. The corner dwelling is a copper boomerang extending over the property lines while staying within allowable bay-window contours.
