The driving design strategy in this version of the existing Don's Crankshaft was the optimalization of daylighting and the use of a roof garden. This particular design is composed of three first floor commercial spaces and then two second floor two-bedroom apartment units. The building's design has a silver LEED accreditation, capitalizing on environmental materials, appliances, and renewable resources. Also crucial to the design was natural lighting and ventilation. For these reasons, window surface area was increased in the building, and skylights are utilized to captivate northern lighting. Opening up the building for the purposes of a community center and a Boy's and Girl's Club was done to promote a more communal and family atmosphere in the area. Also, the bike shop and shower stalls offer another way of promoting environmental means of transportation. Finally, expressing the movement of used water from the building to the living machine is shown by material differentiation and ceiling height manipulations. The overhangs, as well as the pavement material, provide the visual connection between the building and the living machine.
