FRAMED BY FOREST, DEFINED BY FORM.
The design emphasizes clean lines, balanced massing, and expansive windows that frame the surrounding forested hills and ocean glimpses beyond. A restrained palette of warm cladding and dark accents defines the facade, offering a timeless expression of coastal modernism. Rooted in Union Architecture’s commitment to functionality and form, The Altius embodies thoughtful density – architecture that rises with intention.
