STALL
NODE
HOLLOW
LANE
SPLIT
EDGE
IDENTIFIABLE BY ITS
LARGE AREA NORTH OF
THE STREET EDGE, STALL
SERVES AS A MIXED-USE
BUILDING PRIMARILY
FOCUSED ON FORMALIZED
BRICK-AND-MORTAR
RETAIL. THE RESULTANT
PROJECT THAT SURROUNDS
THE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING
BUILDINGS CREATES A
PLAZA EXTENDING OFF THE
STREET EDGE WHICH SETS
THE NEW INTERVENTION
AS SUBORDINATE TO THE
REFLECTION OF THE OLD
BUILDINGS.
THE CLUSTER OF smallscale multifamily
buildings AT THE
CORNER OF JEFFERSON
AVENUE AND NORTH
WATKINS STREET ACT AS
A NODE THAT CONNECTS
THE PERFORMANCE PLAZA
TO MULTIPLE PROJECTS
WITHIN THE NEW SITE
DEVELOPMENT. THIS
CREATES A COMPLEX OF
MORE INTIMATE SCALE
BUILDINGS WITH SEAMLESS
TRANSITIONS BETWEEN
LIVING AND WORKING
SPACES.
THE FURTHEST BUILDING
SOUTH ON THE SITE’ᥓ
HIGHEST POINT IS A
SINGULAR BUILDING
ON GRADE CHARGED
WITH HOUSING ELDERLY
OR THOSE WHO ARE
PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED.
THIS PROJECT MIXES
HOUSING WITH SERVICES
THAT CAN BOTH SUPPORT
THE NEEDS OF THIS
PROJECT’ᥓ INHABITANTS
WHILE ALLOWING FOR
AREAS OF RELIEF FROM
THE BUSINESS OF THE
EVERYDAY.
LANE IS A ZONED
DISTINCTION ACROSS ALL
PROJECTS WITHIN THE
SITE THAT ACKNOWLEDGES
THE PUBLIC STREET EDGE
AND TASKS TENANTS,
BOTH FOR LIVING AND
WORKING, TO FRONT AS
NECESSARY TOWARDS
THE STREET. AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND
BOUNDARIES, SPACES
IDENTIFIED WITHIN THIS
ZONE NEGOTIATE SPACES
DIFFERENTLY IN RELATION
TO OTHERS WITHIN THEIR
LOCALIZED PROJECT.
SPLIT IS A PROJECT
IDENTIFIABLE BY ITS
TWIN BUILDING FORMS
BISECTED BY AN AXIS
PREVIOUSLY USED BY
AUTOMOBILES. THIS
PROJECT IS TASKED
WITH NEGOTIATING ITS
MANY SITE FORCES AND
CONSTRAINTS SUCH AS THE
AXIS THAT CONNECTS THE
LIVELY STREET EDGE WITH
A MODEST URBAN FARM.
SPLIT SERVES AS THE
PROTOTYPICAL PROJECT
FURTHER DEVELOPED
WITHIN THE CAPSTONE.
AT THE EDGE OF THE
VIETNAMESE HISTORIC
BLOCK IS A SINGULAR
PREVIOUSLY EXISTING
MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.
BECAUSE OF ITS
CENTRALIZED NATURE
TANDEM WITH ITS MODEST
SIZE, THIS PROJECT IS
TASKED WITH SUPPORTING
THE MISSION OF THE
WORKS STEWARDING THE
EXISTING 20 ACRES
OF LANG. THIS EDGE
WILL SERVE AS ANOTHER
BASE POINT FOR THE
ORGANIZATION.
