Designed by MVSA, the building exudes modern sophistication, and alongside the pocket park, it forms a vibrant, sustainable addition to the neighborhood. It’s a space that fosters connection—where residents and the community can gather, while abundant greenery nurtures wildlife and helps cool the city heat. Designed with older residents in mind, the complex prioritizes health and wellbeing. In addition to 28 high-end residences with parking spaces, it features a swimming pool, wellness center, and fitness facilities.

The design of the building follows the contours of the original structure with a U-shaped plan. Its exterior, the public face of the complex, is distinguished by rich brick detailing, blending with the surrounding area. In contrast, the more private courtyard façade offers a modern, transparent design, fostering a softer interior and a contemporary atmosphere. A peaceful oasis in the bustling city The courtyard is set apart from the busy city street by a stretch of greenery, enhancing the sense of a secluded retreat away from the urban bustle.

This peaceful oasis serves as a place for relaxation and socializing, promoting biodiversity and a natural urban experience. It increases the area’s water retention capacity, reduces heat stress, improves air quality, and positively impacts the physical and mental wellbeing of its residents and visitors. Positioned atop the parking garage, the courtyard is designed to accommodate several large trees, connecting the greenery across different floors and acting as a filter to the courtyard. The lightly asymmetrical planting beds create a dynamic, undulating landscape, adding movement and life to the space.

The rooftop gardens on the first and fourth floors are integral to the design, not only enhancing the aesthetic and ecological quality of the building but also serving to buffer water and reduce runoff. Valerius stands as a prime example of how urban densification can harmoniously coexist with extensive greening efforts.
