A speculative response to a growing demand for new residential units on
the City's Near West Side, this 3 building, 5 unit project looks to
start the dialogue of such new construction through the use of
substantial materials organized in a manner that responds to the scale
and datum lines of its context. The individual structures, 2 living
floors placed atop a private indoor garage, are defined by the varying
materials of each unit which push and pull across their facades,
blurring the demising lines and offering hints of what's to come around
each corner. Glazing along the east facade kicks into the volume of the
structure creating shade and small balconies that allow full height
doors to open when weather permits.
