Tasked to design a multifamily residence in Washington Park, Providence, on a 3,200 SF lot, we prioritized six actions for human inhabitation: a place to sleep, a place to work, a place to wash, a place to eat, and a place to socialize.
The two units interlock with each other and create simultaneous moments of presence and absence-through transparent mask facades. The units sit diagonally on the site, following the hypothetical diagonal grain.
