I don't buy it. It's a decorative element. So that overhang protects from the harsh southeast sun? I don’t buy it. It’s a decorative element.

Studio units suck though. They partitioned the alcove to wide for the sleeping area (they shouldn't have even put a wall up) so the kitchen is super tiny for eating. THere isn't a good space for place to sit either for watching a tv (which won't fit anyway) or to read. They also put major appliances on the partition wall so tearing it down will be a pain. Contrast their studios with Gallery and you'll understand. Great building. Studio units suck though.
