Shotgun Tenement Collision

When combining the two plans, I wanted to try to collide the concepts of airy and floating (shotgun construction) with dense and heavy (tenement construction). I did this by keeping my shotgun plan and incorporating the dense interior walls from my tenement plan as well as the varying ceiling and floor thicknesses used in my tenement plan. I also limited the number of windows in the plan in order to make the spaces feel more dense and heavy.
