This 16 unit residential project is conceived as two long bands that make up a zipper configuration. The project’s built mass and its varying degrees of transparency create a nuanced relationship between the public street front and the more secluded private gardens.

Each unit is conceived as two volumes tied by a thin circulation gallery; one of them contains the social areas flanked by a service core while the other one has the sleeping quarters that expand or contract based on programmatic requirements.

A two meter sectional difference in the site is negotiated through minor vertical shifts that inform the geometries of the ground and roof plane. While each unit is perceived as a single-family home, the construction logic responds to that of one continuous building.
