The main parameter I was interested in was height. As such, I flexed this and reported my results in square footage.

Part 2

Top Height: 700ft; Top Width: 600ft
Top Height: 700ft; Top Width: 600ft
Top Height: 500ft; Top Width: 300ft
Top Height: 500ft; Top Width: 300ft

For my conceptual mass form, I decided to create a rhombus-shaped building that could maximize the lot size while also maintaining a distinct and almost pyramidal shape. I noticed how adjusting the top width and top height could dramatically increase the square footage. Thus, I flexed combinations of these two metrics:
