Maximum public.
Minimum private.

Pressing against the city, the buildings are narrowed and slender. I’ve pushed them to the block’s edge, increasing the area within. Earth from the void of I-95 to the north is transposed into the expanded block. It becomes a material. It’s modulation enhances program, circulation and sequence.

Space is over and space is under.

Within the ground, embedded volumes order light into a temporal, rhythmic progression while providing the weight and pressure of the earth to become a contemplative experience. Above there is relative expanse. It’s partitioned by topography according to the adjacencies amongst the block.
Within the buildings, units function as minimal enclosures. Contrasting the block’s vast and encroaching interior, they are simple, uniform and modest.
