Above that are eleven floors of affordable residential housing totaling ninety-one (91) units and ranging from studio to three bedroom apartments.
The solid and rectangular masses of the housing above shift and create movement as though the building is using the energy of the artistic endeavor it houses to push against its constraints.
Overall the design is a conversation between the quality and type of space needed for the artists and their work, the building’s massing and repetition, and the opportunity to enhance the urban fabric through interaction with the public realm.
