TYPE: Residential
STATUS: Built
The site for these tucked-away rowhomes is a flag lot accessible from a rear alley in a dense residential neighborhood. These 5 units are flipped front to back, with the formal entrances facing the rear of the adjacent block and accessed via a narrow permeable-paved walkway. The massing at the fronts of the units varies and shifts, and the stacked and recessed volumes evoke the organic and varied pattern of small residential rear additions typically seen in rowhome neighborhoods. Programmatically, the units reverse the typical rowhome layout, but volumetrically respect the massing of the nearby existing housing.
