In this Daily -- Angles and Calle Cartagena

Cartagena Flats are coming along, contributing another piece to the second-floor sociability of the street. Looking out from balcony of 8C the welcoming terraces across the street create a sense of community even above ground level, but there's a careful consideration that keeps engagement from becoming intrusive.

![Cartagena Flats Las Catalinas](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_7616-e1558718664970-450x600-1.jpg?width=450&height=600&name=IMG_7616-e1558718664970-450x600-1.jpg)

The key here is angles. Pay careful attention as you walk along the street, and no balcony looks directly into another. This is an extension of the Las Catalinas design principle for windows, and empowers anyone in these homes. Standing on the balcony, you feel as though you're a part of a lively town, but a simple step inside brings privacy. It's a pleasant balance, and will help lend a unique feel to Calle Cartagena.
