Program: Urban Infill House
Term: Fall 2019 (second year)
This project required students to design an urban addition to the charlottesville pedestrian downtown mall that had three floors and space for both private living and collective social gathering. This design involves overlapping moves, united by a central spiral stair, and it questions the ways in which we formalize the idea of public and private space. The curvilinear language signals a more intimate space while the rectilinear juts out proudly onto the street as a spectacle for those inside and walking below.
