The project’s ambitions included the formation of attainable housing that fosters community connections in familiar and novel ways. Addressing a dialogue and sensibility with the site’s shifting conditions and future aspirations. Using stock materials to form a much different exterior conditions than expected. And creation of unique and intimate domestic conditions that counter them.
To navigate the issues of the site conditions we identified, we have created a kit of parts that aggregate into different residential program modules which eventually arrange themselves into buildings. This strategy allows for easy repetition structurally and programmatically across the site, and also accounts for some degree of affordability in construction.
