Being tasked with introducing 1850 apartment units to Journal Squared as part of a massive 25 FAR Transit Oriented Development was huge from a purely quantitative standpoint. When we considered the impact this project would have on the daily lives of the residents and neighbors who would experience it in the years to come, the weight of its emotional potential became astronomical.
To address this, HWKN established a systematic logic that began with a trio of rational point towers, allowing flexibility in both planning and phasing, and then set to work sculpting the prototypical system with the experience of the individual in mind.
Journal Squared was designed before Marc Kushner left the firm and when HWKN was named Hollwich Kushner.
