Cycle Projects was tasked with designing a small mixed-use building for a metal scrapyard owner, but plans shifted after the financial collapse. They adopted a strategy of employing simple yet efficient materials to achieve an aesthetically rigorous design. By combining
off-the-shelf materials with tight construction oversight and minimal custom design elements, they successfully created a development that garnered praise for its design strength while remaining within a modest budget, as recognized by its feature in the New York Times.
